The document summarizes key aspects of the relationship between Puritans and Native Americans in North America. It notes that Puritans sought to abolish the Indian way of life and push Christianity onto them. This led to clashes over land and the destruction of Indian societies. King Philip's War devastated native populations, resulting in their demise in New England by the late 17th century. The document also summarizes the development of the Chesapeake colonies in Maryland and Virginia, focusing on the rise of tobacco cultivation, social hierarchies, and the growing use of African slaves in the colonies.

• A priority for the Puritans when beginning their take over of New
England was to ensure that the way of the Indians was abolished.
• There was an importance to push the influence of Christianity onto the
natives.
• Land was demolished in efforts to build a new society for the English
which kept the Indians from continuing their way of life, living off the
ground.
• When land wasn’t just simply destroyed it was conned from the hands of
Indians when deeds were made to imply a shared understanding of land
which left most Indians with nothing eventually running them out of the
place they considered home.

Chapter 9
Continuing to weaken the Indian society , the
Puritans sought to create ally ties. The more desperate
tribes were chosen to help eliminate tougher and
more stabilized tribes like the Pequot.
King Philip’s war would become one of the
most impactful wars leading to the demise of the
Indians in the New England territory. After the
hanging of three Indians, lead by Metacomet the main
leader of the natives, guerilla warfare was struck upon
the colonists of the New World. Metacomet’s death
pre-emptily ended the war resulting in a Puritan
victory. Both sides suffered in the end with 600
deaths on the Puritan side and the Indians losing over
3,000 warriors. The damages made to the land and
society only fueled to colonies to develop faster post
war.

 Structural understanding was key in the development of the Chesapeake colonies, while
there was indeed a “king” there was a definite flow of order on common level as well.
Colonies were managed on a communal level
 Every community had its chain of command, as did the family unit/household
 Men were seen in the power position as of the times, and it was considered high treason
to question it.
 Women were still not independent of their household or husbands and had little
effectiveness in regards to management.

 The boom in tobacco for the colonies was vital
in its early cultivation. During the 1640s and
50s we saw a high influx of commerce and
trade with the demand of tobacco. However in
its decline, we see the exact impact only
negative on the colonies. With the Dutch now
unable to act in tobacco trade there was a
dramatic downfall in the market over all.

men were seen superior to

of slaves became popular.
African slave were brought
