King Phillip’s braves are no more, but in King Philip’s War, (1675-1676), one fourth of the white people of New England were killed, and almost all the Indians driven from New England. This was followed by Queen Ann’s War (1704) and the Deerfield Raid. It would be a long time before New Englanders would willing give up their guns. Vermont (!) still has some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country.
I loved the episode of AMC’s “Turn” where the British commander leading the occupation of Setauwket ordered all the guns to be turned in for public safety.
In the background a gallows was being erected.
