Im White i guess my ancestral heritage in this country goes back to possibly as far as James Town. Right out the gate, the 4 last names of my heritage through my immediate grandparents is Stewart, Baker, Casling and Charles. Very english I guess and Scottish. I dunno how to feel about how this country. It's an attrocity and Id wager Ive been afforded a life of outsized u earned privilege because of genocide and enslavement before me. I will say to my knowledge most of the family tree fought for the union. But we read the country being founded on genocide and enslavement, and you still see the oppression all the way up to into the present. I dunno how to feel.

First to Shesaknitter, that is very interesting to hear! Out of curiosity, how many people attend these unification celebrations? Can you hear ancestral languages there? Although I lived in NJ as a child I was often in the Pequot museum in Connecticut. I recall how sad it was to go through the whole museum (which was awesome as a kid) and then read that there were less than 100 Pequot left. I hope very much you Wampanoags are thriving 💪!

@@sirscrotum @BLUE JDM MR2 , as for you... I am from an old European-American family as well - though not nearly as old as Shesaknitteer's! There is evidence enough that my direct ancestors participated in unforgivable episodes and institutions of our country's past and for what it is worth a direct descent fought for the CSA while other members fought for the Union. I can sympathize with your hesitation in pride in our nation - I personally think nationalism is over-rated. I take solace in knowing that many first nations survived and maintain cultures and families of which they are proud. I have lived, laughed and worked with Apache, Ojibwe, Cree, Lakota, Algonquins and more from James Bay to Arizona. They made it. Don't forget that between these episodes of hate and blood there was lots of space for trade, friendship, love and the beauty of everyday life experienced by and between individuals of first nation descent and those of European. I think the best perspective is one embodied by this very channel. We should engage with our past and learn from it. It helps color the world we live in and to understand how we got here and invisible forces of history that make us who we are as individuals. Most importantly it exercises our empathy such that when we as individuals or a nation find ourselves again with opportunity to perpetrate or prevent such terrible crimes against our fellow great apes that we are able to make the choices that honor each other. If you do that, I think you have plenty of reason to be proud of yourself and as citizen of a flawed country that honestly struggles with itself and its history everyday.

@@AC-sc1mn for real, you can still be proud of being an American, because America is not bad and cruel even in the sheer reality, for what it truly is it's a great but flawed country with eccentric values, for what it truly is, constitutional or not, it is a save haven for freedom,liberty and democracy...

@@sirscrotum the country isn't founded on slavery and genocide, it's a country that had to undergo experiences regarding genocide and slavery, yes in the start, they had slaves, but that does not mean that the core of American society is all about oppression and anarchy, it really isn't

I accidentally stumbled upon this war while on a Wikipedia deep dive. I'm not even American.

I just know based off of AP US History

Why is that fucked up? Were you expecting to actually learn real history in college? Not woke horse shit 🤣

I know of it because I was born and grew up in Massachusetts and live in an area many key battles happened. But I imagine if I grew up most anywhere else, I probably would never have been taught it.

That is correct. It was a massacre where women and children were targeted. Because of this, they're considering renaming the town of Turners Falls, as it is named after William Turner who led the massacre.

clearly not only women and children as it "neutralised" the tribe

@@Cecilia-ky3uw Woman and children are crucial to any war effort, not just warriors. Why continue to fight when there is nothing left to fight for? When the cost to your society is too great? What do you do when the people supporting your army are massacred?

FTR, He had picked the name Phillip at one point.

"No, I said Metaco-" "Right. Phil."

Both Metacomet and his bro Wamsutta selected English names, Maybe to curry favor with the colonists, but more likely because they kept mispronouncing their real names. 'Fine! Just call us Phillip and Alexander!'

But WERE the forests “far thicker”? Remember that what we see in southern New England is almost all second growth…land cleared for farming in the 17th century and then slowly abandoned in the late 19th and early 20th for easier lands in the west .The roads would tell some of the tale….a research project?

The forests were huge in those days. Much larger trees than now. The trees of New England you see today are somewhat recent. There is one remaining tree from the huge forests of the pre-colonial era. In Sunderland, which is just north of Hadley, there's a tree called the Buttonball Tree. It's from the 1600s, from before King Philips War and is the largest sycamore tree east of the Mississippi River.

@@thomascain5313 Considering old growth forest would have been filled with trees hundreds to thousands of years old by the time the colonists started cutting them down, yeah probably was far thicker lol

​​@@thomascain5313any of New Englands biggest and oldest trees have long since been used to make vast amounts of boats and ships, among other things

@@Rexini_Kobalt I think the story of the uses of trees by native peoples has hardly been told. And although they were officially a “ Stone Age”people without the use of iron this would not have impeded them in the use of wood as much as one might imagine. Look at the great sea canoes of the Pacific North West. They were built entirely with stone tools. So the traditional forests of New England would probably not have been “thick” because over the centuries some trees simply win the battle for light and space and shade out and ultimately kill the lesser trees growing around them, creating a more airy, open space under a continuous canopy. So the New England woods of 1523 probably looked different from the woods in 2023…And even more beautiful

Love your idea here, but we're well beyond that..."never repeat it" and "keep others from enacting it" are two limiting concepts, and if there's one thing history teaches us it's that civilization was never good at limiting anything..

@@BeardVsTheWorldUK1 not really an excuse there.

@@baneofbanes Excuse? No comprende. It's not an excuse for anything. It's a mere fact that civilization as a whole has a very poor record of respecting boundaries and others, behaving ethically and morally, being content with the little one has, not being blinded by power and wealth, respecting Nature and all its creatures, etc etc. That's why Cain slew Abel, that's why we stole Metacomet's land, that's why we couldn't leave our fingers off the West, and that's why we'll never be able to keep others from "repeating" history and "(RE-)enacting" it.

Appreciate you asking homie.

I knew about it at age 11 in 5th grade US History. Neither my teacher or text hid or skipped it. That was 47 years ago though. King Phillip's War and several other western county natives Vs militia conflicts in those 30 years changed the colonies many ways. Wealthy peerage started to leave America due to the danger. They left in charge managers that gained social influence. Commoners started to legislate themselves, since they were obliged to fill militia rolls to retain land ownership. By 1755 when Royal officers arrived with Crowne troops to fight France, America looked to be a strange place with cheeky fellows that didn't know their place. What's worse, they were all armed.

I only found out about it in 2006 when I read Nathaniel Philbrick's book Mayflower

Well like Texas, I’m not sure the rest of the country knows about the Alamo, atleast the people who live there are taught

Did you every hear about the hugely effective rule of the South Plains by the Comanches. They consecutively defeated the Apache, the Spanish, the Mexicans, and the Texans for control of 250,000 square miles of territory almost a hundred years. Yet they never numbered more than a few thousand warriors.

@@rusoviettovarich9221 Lol. Rhode Island was a rouge colony founded by pirates originally,.

*Why is it CaLLed Rhode IsLand??? Neither a Rhode nor an IsLand!!!*

It was a mixed bag. The M'ikmak natives in Acadia sued for peace upon learning that the Mohawk in New England finally joined on the colonists side. They allowed renewed settlement and fishing industry in Maine in return for no further English settlement of Acadia, and the existing settlers had to pay a tax in corn every year. It was only the beginning of troubles though, as there were half a dozen more major wars fought in the area over the next hundred years between native, French, English and other European settlers.

They might have been right. Maybe settlers were hesitant to move further out of fear for the natives

The akadians only did well because of the scorpion king. When he died so did akadia because he was the last akadian.

@@ronj4994 They sure did. England and France were fighting over land and trapping.

I hope you will agree that the hysteria of the Witch trials was a consequence of the war fever. An Evil Spirit does possession of those who suffer so much.

Your grandparents may have known my relatives the Abbeys, a young couple with a farm in Massachusetts during this mid-1600's (I would have to dig out the books to see the exact years from what we heard about them). I know the village they lived in tried to help another couple that had lost their farm to either disease or poor handling of it, all agreed to let that couple live on the Abbey farm, then the wife of that couple was accused of witchery because of strange behavior and forced to leave (not everyone was burned at the stake). She retaliated by apparently laying a curse on my relatives farm, the animals, etc... and I don't know what happened to her or the husband after that. I also need to look into who came after those first relatives of mine to lead eventually to my existence, and if they were involved in the war or not. This story in the video brings the reality (and my suspicions) about just how difficult life must have been then, and how lucky somebody had to be just to keep the family going. My lineage could've easily been severed through all that. They made their way west also, but not until after several more generations in New England. I also wish I could see the land in that time, as long as didn't run into those problems with the natives, I just wish I could see how magnificent the forests must have been. The virgin forests of hardwoods, giant oaks, chestnuts, cottonwoods, and the evergreens like white pines that back then were far larger than now. The streams with lakes with no introduced species, and there was actually elk and wolves. I just want to see it, the land where I grew up before it was clear cut many times, so badly it hurts.

Hey man! I guess I am commenting much later than when you commented, so I don't think you will respond. I am in no way related to that part of north-american history (I am mexican, so this heritage of subjugation is visible in my brown skin and curly hair. Still, I do not feel qualified to speak about the suffering of the native people of this continent). Still, the thing you mentioned about the Hathornes really interested me. I believe that the w was added to the name by the famous writer Nathaniel Hawthorne himself, who I believe did that out of shame for the deeds that his grandfather partook in during the Salem witch trials. Are you related to him in any way? That would be very cool. You are living history, although in our own way, I believe we all are.

The pre American revolution era gets sorta ignored despite the fact it’s just as important and sometimes even more interesting.

Wait until you see the 800 years of Iberian history that has been swept under the rug!

Yes, most stories of the Indian Wars that gets made into movies are about when the conflicts were almost over. The Native Americans had no chance at that time. During these early conflicts there was real fear that the English colonists could be wiped out.

Columbus never even arrived in the US. The US European history started with the Spanish colonies in Florida, New Mexico and Arizona in the 1500s

@@alexandrejosedacostaneto381 The word America has multiple meanings. When people say Columbus sailed to America, they are not saying he sailed to the United States.

You don't know that. You are just saying shit that cannot be proven or disproved. He was known as Metacomet...you took our land but you cannot take his name.

​@@DisposableEgo You're right, there are limitations to what we know based on scarce records from the time. And I should have cited my source, "The Name of War" by Jill Lepore. In the book, she cites how the few primary sources we still have show him signing his name with a "P" for Philip, but he probably only did that in the context of his dealings with the English. There's no question that he originally went by Metacomet or Metacom early in his life, but we also have records showing that it was common for people in his community to adopt a new name as a right of passage when they became an adult. Unfortunately there is no record as to what new name he adopted, if any. The point is, it's unlikely he would have gone by either Philip or Metacom - these are just the only names we have available.

This is a very interesting point

@@MattCad good source and a good read. But still...they didn't know either.

I'm curious, how much of colonial American/Canadian history is taught in schools in the UK?

Scientist / scientish typing - not much in state schools, I think. I don't know whether any of the school exam boards offer syllabuses that specifically cover North American history at the 15-16 and 17-18 levels - but I suspect there'll still be some schemes like the one my friends did that covered topics in European and American history from 1870(?) to 1918 (this was an old syllabus for 15-16-year-old kids). I don't think history teaching in UK state schools is in good shape. In too many instances kids get superficial treatments of the Romans, the Tudors, and WW2 (mainly the UK home front and the Holocaust, not that either is trivial) - and that's it. Best regards from The Homestead of Snot's People ("Hi, I'm Snot, and this is my homestead.")

The Puritans were right about one thing, no man is free from sin.

I wouldn't say its unbiased but it is pretty good.

There is still a clear bent to the reading. Compare the description of King Philip with that of the Puritan Commander who sacks the fort. One is ‘not a friend of colonists’ the other is ‘a racist who saw the natives as animals’ Also note the difference in volume on the score during the sack of many villages by natives vs the sack of the swamp fortress.

I mean if western people hadn't come here there would have been none of that violence, so I gotta blame the invaders.

I’d say the natives were still the lesser evil in conflicts like this but yes, they certainly should not be whitewashed and infantilized, humans capable of severe levels of violence

YeS!!! he did a great job. Best vids that cover this war on the net HANDS DOWN

Awesome idea with fractals! However, the inciting incident, the first "fractal" happened far from American shores. Check out Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael" to find out where-you'll be shocked at how much sense it all makes...

I had heard a little bit about King Phillip's War at least that it was fought by "Indians" against the English colonists when doing my genealogy research. I have lots of ancestors that arrived in that area as part of the Puritan migration from 1620 - 1640 (a few on the Mayflower itself) and I discovered that some of them were actually killed in that war.

Great recommendation on “Mayflower.” Philbrick did a nice job..

Philbrick is a fantastic author. His book Bunker hill is also excellent.

There is a great deal of evidence across “American” history that we are given an official narrative which doesn’t match. How many people know Ben Franklin was a runaway indentured servant, or that most servants of George Washington where European convicts and poor under contracts of indenture? Almost all original “slaves” where natives, and that actual African slaves came late, accounting for a much smaller percentage. It’s very interesting to note that supposed minorities are given a narrative that helps divest them of their homeland. Yes, mayflower is an excellent book that does discuss this “slavery” off to British sugar plantations in the Caribbean, effective prison, where British based raiders stole Spanish “booty”, natives of south America, and import to the north. This was the case with Tituba of Salem Witch Trials who was native, not African.

Loved the book.
