Question

Briefly describe the war between the Wampanoag Confederacy and the Plymouth colony. Your response should include it’s cause, at least one important event of the war, how the war ended, and the war’s impact.

Answer 1

A jury made up of colonists and Indians found three Wampanoag men guilty for Sassamon's murder and hanged them on June 8, 1675. Their execution incensed Philip, whom the English had accused of plotting Sassamon's murder, and ignited tensions between the Wampanoag and the colonists, setting the stage for war.
