King Philip's War, initiated by the Wampanoag leader Metacomet (King Philip), was a violent conflict between Indigenous peoples and English colonists that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Indigenous people and the destruction of many Native communities[3]. The war ended with the defeat of the Indigenous alliance, leading to the mass enslavement, displacement, and death of Indigenous peoples across New England[3].
