- The history and legacy of America's forgotten conflict. Between June 1675 and August 1676, nearly 3000 native Americans of the Wampanoag tribe and 800 English from Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colonies died in what is considered the bloodiest was per capita on the North American continent.
This war was one of the most significant, seminal events in American history.

I teach US Army Military History for Boston University's Army ROTC Program. I cover King Philip's War in my class. Far too often - too many other instructors jump over this time period, for they see the US as having been born in April 1775. Also: When King Philip gave his speech that "I will fight until I have no more country" he supposedly said that in a gristmill in Taunton, MA. If true, the mill owner was Thomas Lincoln. He's my wife's 10th great grandfather.
I went to school with Susan Lincon and know where the family homestead is , very close to a grist mill and pond where ice was cut back in time .
Nicely done. An often untold part of history here in N.E. Thank You
Only made it to about 3:22, and the first correction is, In 1656, Massasoit had the Indian names of both his sons changed by the royal court at Plymouth to more prestigious English titles; the older boy, Wamsutta, became Alexander, and Metacomet became Philip. 19 years before King Phillips War. Ousamequin was my 10th Gr. Grandfather, Wamsutta, or Alexander was my 9th Gr. Grandfather.
I live in Warren, RI and grew up here. I’ve studied a lot of history here in warren and bristol.
My Grandfather is Sassacus, as well as Uncas. William Cohoone as well, King Phillips war. Sad all around. It breaks my heart.
Worded this pretty rudely
I have a direct ancestor that fought in the Great Swamp fight. He survived and was promoted to Lt. and given 150 acres of land for his actions. So glad we won!
Congrats on having an ancestor involved in the greatest genocide and land theft movement in history I guess...not sure why you'd be proud or happy about it.
My 9x great grandfather was killed while walking to the garrison in Taunton in June 1675, fortunately after the birth of my 8th great grandfather lol
The woman who was captured and treated well Mary Richardson was taken from the borning room hours after giving birth . Her baby was " brained" not knocked on the head. That was the act of taking the child by his feet , held upside down and had his head smashed on a tree by the horse mounted rider. Mary was forced to walk in the cold with her midwife after just giving birth. The speakers have reworded history . My family was one of the founding families of Swansea, Massachusetts and came to Salem, Massachusetts in 1632.
borning room?.....ohhh you mean birthing room.....learn some english
great job!
I LOVE these. This was such an important part of early American history - before it became America. The greatest Native American Indian revolt and the bloodiest per capita war on American soil.
Thank you.
That old man and lad were William and John Salisbury. Sadly, my 8th great grandfather and his son.
My 9th great grandfather was scalped and killed by a native warrior in June 1675 while walking back to the garrison in Taunton. I read that my 8th great grandfather “would obtain revenge”, at least according to the accounts I can find.
Not sure what to say about that except that it was rather sobering.
10:21 Benjamin Church is my 8th great grandfather. 👍🇬🇧
Atrocities always seem to happen when peoples with different styles of warfare come into conflict.
This documentary seems to gloss over some things. It talks extensively about the terror of the Colonials burning Indian villages and murdering people, and rightfully so as that is terrible.
However, on more than one occasion, they talk of Indians burning Colonial settlements and slaughtering people and just continue on as if that were normal. This presents a very one-sided analysis of the situation, as evidenced by how they didn't mention the presence of Indian allies fighting for the Colonials until the end, clearly setting up the conflict as a purely Colonial vs. Indian affair.
I have been working--sporadically--on my genealogy for dozens of years. I just RECENTLY learned that there is a strong possibility that King Philip is my 8th great-grandfather on my mother's side. Another line on my mother's side is that of Cornelius "The Irishman" Merry, a 7th great-grandfather, who under command of Captain William Turner, fought against King Philip. I have much to learn. Does anyone have recommendations of where to start? Thanks!
Atun-Shei films would be proud.
Yep this horrible history is almost as anti-White as his garbage.
"You might call it a form of 'Ethnic Cleansing'.... There were really 'Not To Many' Natives left in Southern New England after this War"...
I live in this area near the Hockomock swamp. This area is for sure haunted forever. I can’t even tell you what I have seen living in this area, which was the heart of the war! If I did, first off, I understand, I will be sounding “crazy“, second, more than likely most won’t believe me and I will just be embarrassing myself unfortunately! I wouldn’t wish that upon my own worst enemy, them seeing something that they cannot prove, or will make them look nuts. And just so you know, regardless, I still don’t believe in spirits or ghosts regardless! Nope, I can’t explain what I have seen and heard before but I’m sure in the future they’ll be a logical explanation for it someway or another.
So let me get this straight.You have seen strange unexplainable things but you still don't believe in ghosts?
Was it a Sasquatch?
English bashing. The Mohawks laugh at King Philip .
i love this
In 'Old England', one had to have a 'Title' or be 'Entitled' (aka... as Royalty) to Own Land.... Otherwise you were a 'Renter' or a 'Share Cropper'... The Colonists were free to simply 'Take Land' as they wanted.... Establishing Colonies by a Simple Permit.... This is how the King encouraged people to move to a faraway & dangerous wilderness, a chance to own land and religious freedom.
I’d love to see more about this era of colonial Massachusetts if there’s anything out there!
Atun-Shei films has made a lot if videos about this topic
@@altforauditions9279 He did! I was excited to see that he updated and added some newer stuff on it. Thanknyou
Unknown by many, including K-12 educators.
History that was not taught back in the day, probably isn't today. Thanks for posting.
Of course it was, just not in gory detail.
@@mlr4524 This was never taught at any school I attended.
I grew up near the site of the Great Swamp Massacre and read Flintlock and Tomahawk when in my teens and had many Narragansett friends. Late in life I found my ancestors were very much involved in the extermination of the local peoples... just breaks my heart.
As long you recognize and acknowledge it happened it’s fine. The fact you had Narrangasett friends when the history books say they were wiped off the face of the earth says much about their resilience
Im very sorry to have to tell this to you , but the indians got the land the same way as the english. The most powerful tribe in the area are the ones who controlled pretty much everything, and they would until someone who's more powerful moved into the area and they fought it out.
Very true
Also, the point that they migrated across the land so they didn't have concept of permanent ownership is so misleading. They had their own territories, and they moved around their territories. If an enemy tribe settled down in their territory, they would kill them and drive them out.
They knew what the contracts with the English meant. Selling the English nearby land meant having a permanent trade partner for weapons and food to help them protect their remaining land.
Shhh 🤫 don’t say that, the virtue signaling anti progress make up your own history leftists don’t like that
@@holben27both you and OP are exactly right! After seeing the trash that passes for serious history on this subject on TH-cam, I’ve decided I’m going to have to make a full documentary on the King Philips War to set the record straight.
Good lord, the natives fighting is nothing to do with the contrasting mindset of the foreigners. You REALLY don’t seem to understand that.
From my readings and research , the number 1 reason for the war was not about land , but instead it was about the preachers teaching and converting the people. Once they converted , the local sachems started loosing their hold over the villages. Instead of being inspirational leaders , they chose to fight to stop the people from leaving. Yes, land was a part as well , but the main reason. This video only takes 1 sided veiw and leaves out the atrocities committed by the Indians completely. Every side had blame in this war.
This is my life my father is already in heaven right now
Interesting video I wonder when the Indians got their rifles. This seems very earlier than I would have thought.
They were probably muskets, not rifles. Rifles didn't begin to become common in the colonies until some time after 1700 when German gunsmiths in Pennsylvania began producing them.
@@POCKET-SAND I meant rifles as a general term. not literally
@@hettro-cv6082 I understand, but rifles as a general term imply that the guns had rifling. Most guns of the 17th century didn't have rifling, they were smoothbores.
"Rifle" was never used as shorthand for long guns that aren't shotguns until long after muskets ceased to be a common thing.
@@POCKET-SAND Really? I think your wrap a little too tight!
@@hettro-cv6082 Well if you knew this already, why would you call them rifles?
"Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and predator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self-perpetuating upon itself - a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred."
The Apocrypha of Muad'Dib
My 9X great grandfather, Edward Bobet was killed and scalped by a warrior during the King Philip War - fortunately _after_ fathering my 8X great grandfather lol
The Pocasset tribe of fall river is stll around they live in the indian reservation led by chief Edward gray fox page
No one owns land! Surely the natives understood that and shouldn't of been so hostile! Imagine if English acted that way today with all the immigration! We don't because no one owns land
6:07 how the hell the natives know if the English paper says the same thing twice? They had no system of writing 😂
They were lied to in person and the account they were told is not what is what was written on the document they were lied to about?
Are you that slow?
You slow?
What does one say to someone who pretends to know more than experts of multiple fields of study? Apparently nothing that will change a closed mind. But ask yourself why you want so much to believe an untruth. My guess it just makes you feel better if you think your ancestors stole land from those who stole it from an undeserving group who did the same. Is it denial or racism? Either way, nothing I say will change your mind.
These ancestors stole land from people who stole it off of other people before them who, in turn, had stolen it from other people before them who had, in turn, . . .
That's the story of all human history, to cap it off at a certain point and only demonize one particular group for engaging in what all civilizations had taken part in for thousands of years isn't history, it's messaging.
No one could have lived here until 12000 years ago when the glaciers receded period.
Thanks to the government of America to protect our country continues our support to the government of America..
This is the biggest misinformation cry baby shit I ever saw.
Shut up. Cry baby
6:50ish. Under Phillip, but not by his command. Is this not the most apologetic and pathetic statement they could find?
What is wrong with the people interviewed and their amazing DISCONNECT from reality and historical fact!
The Wampanoag tribe owed their ENTIRE existence to the pilgrims! Let’s not forget that cheif Massasoit had a diminished status in the region, owing to the loss of a significant number of his people to disease. This power vacuum was filled by the Narragansett tribe to whom cheif Massasoit now had to pay tribute too!
The writing was on the wall for the existence of his people and chief Massasoit had only one option left to save his people, seek the protection of the powerful pilgrims. So that’s exactly what happened, the Pilgrim-Wampanoag Peace Treaty was signed on 22 March 1621 which was honored by both sides until Massasoit’s death in 1661.
The treaty enabled the colony to survive and elevated Massasoit to his former standing, just as he had hoped. Winslow saved Massasoit's life when he became ill and seemed close to death. The Wampanoag tribe became wealthy as the exclusive trading partner with the pilgrims. They were also the ONLY tribe that guns could be traded too legally, which was important for them to enlarge their power over rival tribes. They even had English missionaries living with them (the praying Indians) which prevented them from being attacked since other tribes were scared of the pilgrims.
Bradford and Massasoit had a long lasting peace owing to skilled diplomacy. One enemy of Massasoit’s was the Pequot Indians who weren’t peaceful to the pilgrims either. Following several scattered Pequot attacks on settlers, the General Courts of the Plymouth and Massachusetts Colonies conducted retaliatory attacks in 1637 that annihilated the Pequot Indian Nation by killing its people and dispersing those that remained.
So this relationship reminds me of the saying “I brought you into to this world and I can take you out of it.” It was ONLY due to the pilgrims that the Wampanoag tribe lasted as long as they did. This underscores the fact that the Wampanoag didn’t have a leg to stand on to complain about any action of the Plymouth colony. When the Wampanoag took their existence for granted, forgetting natural order of things, and their place in the world at large - the pilgrims took them out like the trash (or out of this world) the same way you’d treat a traitorous individual.
this could have been a great documentary if you put in a bit more effort........you dont introduce the ppl that are speaking or mention their qualifications.......is that because they dont have any?....also you seem to be only presenting this from one side.......the loosing side.....History should be impartial and from both sides...Also lets not forget that before the europians came here there were other ppl here and not just the indian culture...the ppl that were here we having wars with one another long before we got here......so please stop forgetting that europians are not the only ones that stole bought or occupied lands....the prob you have with us is you were on the loosing side hundreds of yrs ago and havent stopped whining about it since.......you lost get over it....its only native ppl and black people that complain about stuff that happened centuries ago so they can blame that instead of themselves for the reasons they dont get ahead in life.
Why is the black lady talking if she. Indian isn’t she aware Indians also had slaves that was black ! I think people don’t understand And learn the complete story
There was never any war here with India. This has never been India. None of the tribes here are from India. 400 years and colonialists still can't do geography.
What are you talking about? There was a war with Indians right there, as described in this video. There were many wars with Indians between the 1600s and 1800s.
@@POCKET-SAND A war with people who came over here from India....when? The only wars here were with native peoples. No one from India was here in the 1600's.
@@heavymetalpermaculture American Indians.
They've been called Indians since the late 15th century, albeit from a mistake, but the name stuck.
We have a word in the English language for the way that you are acting . . . smartass.
In this time India was known as HINDUSTAN.
Still feel like a genius?
against the “copper colored aboriginals” now misnomored as “African-Americans”
Great Britain owes some reparations to the Narragansett peoples. And give Kate Middleton as a wife to the current Narragansett chieftain. Or swap wives to unify the peoples finally.
Then the Narragansett owe reparations to the Pequot tribe and the Pequot tribe to the one they captured the land from the enslaved the people.
This revisionist history Indians can do no wrong nonsense is played out. Grow up.
Grow up
