Was waiting for you to mention my town. In Sudbury near Goodmans hill are tiny little signs along the road saying “entering King Phillip Historical district”. In this one little section of town where the battle was fought on the hill are streets such as: King Phillip, Massasoit, metacumet, pokonoket, Indian ridge. All located just down the road from a Ferrari dealership 🙄🙄 Love the show! Shout out to WTYP and KJB for leading me here. http://www.sudbury01776.org/SavedPages/SudburySeniorCenter_HistoryOfSudbury.html#Hist2 Nice section about it here

I consider myself well read on history. Never heard of this. Even went to a good public school. Thanks for the series boys.

Not sure where to put questions from the legion but could you describe your perfect sandwich in loving detail?

I really appreciate you guys covering. I went through the New England school system in the 90's and early 2000's. I first heard of King Phillip's war 2 years ago. Most New Englanders know have never heard of it. What makes it worse, there are a lot of museums and re-enactment centers relating to colonial life, but they all tend to leave out why our towns, rivers, and mountains are named after tribes that no longer exist.

Ooof, the end there saying that this war was what led to America, too real. So I wanted to add another war crime you didn't mention (what a sentence that is), I'm assuming to avoid this being a ten part series: So for context, I live in Littleton, MA now, which was technically incorporated in 1715, but originally began as a "Praying Indian" village in 1645. So what happened to them during King Philip's War? Deportation and concentration camps. Specifically, they and many others were interned on Deer Island near Boston, which was not exactly habitable for all of them. Yet again, converting to the colonists' religion wasn't enough.

Always love colonial American history, thank you for posting! Have you ever thought about doing Kieft’s War from New Amsterdam? It’s a real fascinating story, and there are some real donkeys involved (Kieft was basically the Michael Scott of colonial America).
