Question

Which is the BEST example of conflict between the Native Americans and the European colonists?
A) King Philip's War
B) Spanish American War
C) Squanto teaching the Pilgrims how to grow corn and catch fish
D) Native Americans trading furs for tools and supplies from the colonists

Answer 1

A is the best example.

King Phillip's War occurred in MA, CT, and RI during 1675-1678 after the death of Massasoit and the ascension of his son Metacomet to the leadership of the Wampanog tribe. The power dynamic changed the relationship between the colonizers and the native population, who were beginning to feel like they were being taken advantage of. The war largely ended with the colonists winning and Metacomet dying.
