Answer: The causes of Metacom's War,named after the Wampanoag sachem Metacom,were an outgrowth of the continual stresses and pressures that existed between European settlers and the native tribes.Although the immediate reason for the outbreak of hostilities included attempts to Christianize the Indian population,the larger reasons were increased European-settler demand for Indian land.The war itself began on the frontier when settlers killed a Wampanoag they found looting a house they had abandoned.The white settlers had a difficult time defeating the Wampanoags,who were armed with guns and were excellent marksmen.The war spread to the Narragansetts and resulted in the deaths of approximately 800 settlers and the near destruction of 24 communities.Both whites and Indians committed atrocities.In the end,the New Englanders won the war,slaughtered hundreds of Indians,and sent others to the Caribbean as slaves.
