Question

consider the treaty drawn up with Massasoit and explain whether or not you feel its term equally favorable to both parties. What seems to be Bradford's attitude toward the Wampanoag?

Answer 1

On March 22, 1621, Massasoit and William Bradford, representatives of the Wampanoag and the Plymouth settlers respectively, signed a peace treaty that ended the previous tensions between the two groups, while creating a commercial alliance between them.

In this way, the Plymouth settlers prevented the Wampanoag from cooperating with the Pequot, who were at war with the English. If this had happened, the Plymouth colony, outnumbered and without resources, would have been defeated.

In turn, for the Wampanoag the treaty represented the beginning of a period of peace and growth for its people, which was interrupted after Massasoit's death, with the arrival of Metacomet and King Philip's War.

Answer 2

Here is the answer to the given question above. The treaty drawn up with Massaoit was equally favorable to both the Puritans and the Natives. The treaty was equally favorable because it said that none of them do any harm to each other. If someone does harm to someone the group of person that was harmed has the right to punish the person that did the harm. Hope this answers your question.
