In March of 1622, an attack occurred in Virginia when “tribesmen called on the white settlements as if to offer goods for sale; then they suddenly attacked” (text 29). These hostile Indians did not stop the attack until “347 whites of both sexes and all ages lay dead” (text 29). As the Colonists hunger grew for increasing amounts of land, “a conflict known as the Pequot War” emerged in 1637 (text 38). These local Indians tribes were trying to prevent the Colonists settling in the Connecticut Valley. Another war broke out against the Indians and the Colonists in 1675 known as “King Philip’s War” (text 38). This war is known as the “bloodiest and most prolonged” (text 38). Over a span of three years, Indians “inflicted terror on a string of Massachusetts towns, killing over a thousand people” (text 38). Battles with the hostile Indians were crucial and devastating for the Colonists to survive in the New
