The Forgotten American War They Didn't Teach in School

In 1676, during the bloodiest conflict in early American history—King Philip's War—a Puritan mother named Mary Rowlandson was taken captive. Her incredible story of survival became early America's first true bestseller, but what was the real story behind the war that tore New England apart? In this video, we dive deep into the devastating events of King Philip's War (1675-1676), a brutal clash between Native American tribes led by Metacom (known to colonists as King Philip) and the English settlers of New England. We follow the harrowing journey of Mary Rowlandson, whose 11 weeks in captivity gave us one of the most famous "captivity narratives" in history: The Sovereignty and Goodness of God by Mary Rowlandson Discover how colonial expansion, broken treaties, and cultural misunderstandings ignited a war that changed the trajectory of American history forever.
