SUMMARY:King Philip's War Book Club Meetings
DESCRIPTION:The Bristol Historical and Preservation Society and Rogers Free Library are commemorating the 350th anniversary of the King Philip War with a Book Club session on April 5th. \nOn June 20\, 1675\, Pokanoket warriors killed seven colonists in Swansea in retaliation for a series of injustices suffered at the hands of the English. Generally considered the beginning of King Philip’s War\, this act led to a bloody conflict that involved every New England colony and Algonquian peoples throughout the region. Local tribes attacked more than half of all the settlements in New England and reduced about a dozen towns in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies to ashes. By the end of the War in August of 1676\, more than 600 settlers had died and 1\,200 homes had been burned. An estimated 3\,000 Native Americans died at the hands of the English.  \n\nThe final discussion will cover the book\, The Name of War by Jill Lepore\, on April 5th. \n\nCopies of the books are available for checkout at the Library circulation desk.  \nFor more information contact BHPS or the Rogers Free Library.

SUMMARY:Surviving Enslavement During the War for New England 1675-1676
DESCRIPTION:2025 marks the 350th anniversary of the start of The War for New England (King Philip’s War). In response to this important assertion of the sovereignty of Dawn land’s Indigenous peoples\, colonial officials instituted a widespread policy of captivity\, enslavement\, and trafficking people out of Dawnland into the Caribbean\, Mexico\, North Africa\, the Azores\, and Europe. This presentation tries to understand this history through some of the stories of survival of individuals and communities in this pivotal conflict.
