.
Alexander succeeded his See also:father as sachem, and in the same See also:year, while in See also:Marshfield, whither he had gone to explain certain alleged unfriendly acts toward the English, was taken See also:ill; he died on his way See also:home
.
Philip, who succeeded Alexander, suspected the English of poisoning his See also:brother
.
The English had grown stronger and more numerous, and had begun to meddle in the See also:internal affairs of the Indians
.
In 1667 one of Philip's Indians accused him to the English of attempting to betray them to the See also:French or Dutch, but this See also:charge was not proved
.
In 1671 the Plymouth authorities demanded that the Wampanoags should surrender their arms; Philip consented, but his followers failed to comply, and See also:measures were taken to enforce the promise
.
Philip thereupon went before the See also:general See also:court, agreed to pay an See also:annual See also:tribute, and not to sell lands or engage in See also:war with other Indians without the consent of the Plymouth See also:government
.
In 1674, when three Wampanoags were executed at Plymouth for the alleged See also:murder of Sassamon, an See also:Indian convert who had played the See also:part of informer to the English, Philip could no longer hold his followers in check
.
There were outbreaks in the See also:middle of See also:June 1675, and on the 24th of June the See also:massacre of whites began
.
There was no concerted See also:movement of the various tribes and the war had not been previously planned
.
The Nipmuck Indians See also:rose in See also:July; the tribes along the See also:Connecticut See also:river in See also:August; those in the See also:present states of See also:Maine and New See also:Hampshire in See also:September and See also:October, and the Narragansets in See also:December, when (on the 19th) they were attacked and seriously crippled, in what is now the township of See also:South See also:Kingstown, Rhode See also:Island, by the English (under See also:Governor See also:Josiah See also:Winslow of Plymouth), who suspected their See also:loyalty
.
The See also:colony of Connecticut took See also:quick measures of See also:defence, guarded its frontier, maintained its affiance with the Mohegans, and suffered little injury
.
See also:Massachusetts and Plymouth were slower in acting and suffered great loss
.
Rhode Island raised no troops, and suffered severely
.
See also:Early in the autumn Philip .went nearly as far See also:west as See also:Albany in an unsuccessful See also:attempt to get aid from the French and the Mohawks and supplies from the Dutch traders
.
At See also:Deerfield on the 18th of September about 6o English were killed and the See also:settlement was abandoned
.
In the See also:spring of 1676 it became evident that the Indian See also:power was waning
.
The warriors had been unable to plant their crops; they were weaker numerically and more poorly armed than the English, and the latter had also made an See also:alliance with the friendly Naticks and the Niantics
.
On the 1st of August 1676 Philip's wife and nine-year old son were captured, and on the 11th of August an Indian traitor guided the English to the sachem's hiding See also:place in a swamp at the See also:foot of See also:Mount See also:Hope (in what is now the township of See also:Bristol, Rhode Island), where early the next See also:morning he was' surprised, and while trying to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape was killed by an Indian
.
The See also:head of Philip was sent to Plymouth and set
on a See also:pole in a public place, where it remained for a See also:quarter of a See also:century; his right See also:hand was given to his slayer, who preserved it in See also:rum and won many pennies by exhibiting it in the New See also:England towns
.
The struggle was now over in See also:southern New England, but it continued along the See also:north-eastern frontier till the spring of 1678, and nearly every settlement beyond the Piscataqua was destroyed
.
In the colonies of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut six See also:hundred men (or about 9% of the fighting See also:population),' besides many See also:women and See also:children, had been killed; thirteen settlements had been completely destroyed, and about forty others were partly burned
.
Plymouth had incurred a See also:debt greater than the value of the See also:personal See also:property of her See also:people
.
The Indians suffered even worse: in addition to the large number of men, women and children slain, great See also:numbers, among them the wife and son of Philip, were sold into See also:slavery in the See also:Spanish Indies and the See also:Bermudas
.
Many others migrated from New England to New See also:York; and the few remaining Indians, feeble and dispirited, were no longer a power to be reckoned with
.
Philip was an Indian patriot and statesman, not a See also:warrior; he See also:united the tribes in their resistance to the colonists, but was not a great See also:leader in See also:battle
