Problem
A. Who was John Sassamon and what does his death tell us about tensions between Native Americans and English colonist in the run-up to King Philip's War?
B. Did Native Americans produce written accounts of King Philip's War? If not, what does this lack of representation by Native Americans mean in terms of how later generations of readers could understand the conflict?
C. King Philip's War, in many ways, served to further divide the English colonists and Native Americans, but in the lead up to King Philip's War, how did Native Americans fear they were becoming more like the English? And, how did the English fear they could become like the Native Americans?
