Views:

The rich and beautiful North America is the homeland of Indians. From 1607 to 1733, Britain established 13 colonies in North America. During the establishment of the British colony in North America, it was accompanied by the enslavement, plunder and killing of Native Indians. In order to resist the atrocities of the British colonialists, for their own survival, and to defend their homeland, the Indians once fought an indomitable struggle. Throughout the period of colonial rule, there were many Indian uprisings and wars against aggression.

From 1675 to 1677, the Pannog Indians of New England, led by their leader, Metacombe, fought an anti-aggression war to defend their homeland. Metacombe launched several tribes of Indians to participate in the battle. There are more than ten thousand people. They destroyed many colonial strongholds and villages, causing great losses to the colonists. The British colonists were very afraid of Metacomb and called him "King Philip". This war lasted for 2 years and was finally brutally suppressed by the colonial rulers. Metacomb was killed and his body was mutilated. His wife and children were betrayed and exiled to the West Indies.

The battle of "King Philip" finally failed, but it showed the brave and unyielding fighting spirit of the Indians and wrote a glorious page in the history of the Indians' struggle against colonial aggression.
