King Phillip's War was the last attempt to expel Europeans out of the North East America. King Phillip's real name was Metacom. I always wonder why did they not call him by his name? But the English wanted him to have a more English name - so they called him King Phillip.
Metacom united the tribes of the North East in an attempt to expel the Europeans once and for all! Sadly Metacom and the united tribes lost to the Europeans. Europeans had better technology than the natices. The only thing that was better!
The Europeans made an example of Metacom. He was beheaded and his family was sold into slavery! So sad, but this moment reveals the Europeans were not nice, and the Natives did not like them! All APUSH students need to know this moment!
