QUESTION
Identify two significant differences
between the conflicts in New England
and Virginia. How did the population
and past events of each colony lead to
the violence that occurred?
CIVIL WAR AND REVOLUTION IN ENGLAND
By the late 1600’s most puritans where in the parliament.
King Charles dismissed the parliament and didn’t convene
it again for 11 years. He called it back again to session in
1640, but was overwhelming the puritans an passed laws
that favored them and limited their royal authority.

defeated the king who was executed in 1649.

REBELLION IN NEW ENGLAND- KING PHILIP'S
WAR, 1675-1676In half the century the Pilgrims of Plymouth lived in
harmony but between the years 1620 and 1675 there were
some tensions.
The governor Bradford got news that their close Indian ally
Massasoit was very ill, he immediately sent Edward Winslow
to treat the Wampanoag leader as a gesture of goodwill.
while the recovering, news was heard that the
Massachusetts indians were planning to attack Plymouth.
• -Under the Miles Standish, the Pilgrim soldiers killed 2 Indian tribe leaders.
• -The Massachusetts bay puritans traded with the Indian tribes especially the Pequots of the Connecticut River Valley but then the Captain of trading vessle was killed in 1637 and the puritans responded harsh by attacking the Pequot fortes on the Mystic River and attacked anyone who fled.
• - This was called the Pequot War. • By the 1660’s the English Settlements were
heading to every direction and were beginning to dominate.
• A new generation of pilgrims and Wampanoag's were coming to power.
• In 1657, Governor Bradford who led Plymouth for about 37 years died.
• Metacom who was the new leader was preparing for war.
• He denied any role in his death and asked fir the authorities to allow the Wampanoag's to settle what he saw as an internal matter but instead the Plymouth authorities hanged 3 of Metacom’s associates.
• This was known as King Philip’s war witch took place 2 weeks after the executions in June 1675
BACON’S REBELLION IN VIRGINIA
Bacons Rebellion illustrated the the instability of early
colonial life and alliances that were constantly shifting.
Bacons rebellion in Virginia was led by recent immigrants
from England in witch the militia attacked the Indian
villages and the royal governor before being defeated.
In 1660, Virginia had 40,000 colonist , including the poor
workers like the African American, (some slave, some

WHAT ARE THE TWO MAIN DIFFERENCES?
The two main differences between the between the
conflict in New England and the conflicts in Virginia
is that in New England was a self- governed colony
and this gave people the chance to have their own
government. New England had many problems with
the Indians around the and were always in conflict.
HOW DID THE POPULATION AND PAST EVENTS OF EACH COLONY LEAD TO THE VIOLENCE THAT OCCURRED?
The population and the past events of each colony lead to the violence that occurred because of the way the the leaders ruled and also all the conflicts that the colonist would have with the Indian tribes.
