What happened to King Philip?
King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war colonists against Indians that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history. Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war." It all began when Philip (called Metacom by his own people), the leader of the Wampanoag Indians, led attacks against English towns in the colony of Plymouth. The war spread quickly, pitting a loose confederation of southeastern Algonquians against a coalition of English colonists. While it raged, colonial armies pursued enemy Indians through the swamps and woods of New England, and Indians attacked English farms and towns from Narragansett Bay to the Connecticut River Valley. Both sides, in fact, had pursued the war seemingly without restraint, killing women and children, torturing captives, and mutilating the dead. The fighting ended after Philip was shot, quartered, and beheaded in August 1676. Because of this conflict they named the war King Philip's War.

Crispus Attucks was biracial, sometimes called a 'Black Indian'. Contrary to popular belief Crispus Attucks was not simply black as people in his time and place defined it. Attucks was the product of the union of an African man who was an escaped slave and a woman of the Natick band of the Massachusett, Wampanoag Indians. By the one drop rule African Americans claim him as black. By the rules of matrilineal descent that the Indians of that region used, Attucks would be considered an Indian because he was the son of one of their women.
