King Phillip and Puwblo Revolt: Compare and Contrast
5 years and nearly an entire continent separated King Philip's war from the great pueblo revolt. Compare and contrast the causes and consequences of these 2 conflicts.

The Great Pueblo revolt of 1680 all started with the droughts of 1660 when the Southwest had severe drought that brought famine and disease. During this, hungry Apaches who couldn't find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope', a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope' against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The Spaniards found out about this and arrested Pope, publicly flogged him and released him back to the pueblos. When he was captured, the pueblo people set fires in the Indian villages in New Mexico. To take care of the fires, the Spaniards sent troops to halt the ritual of setting the fires by pueblo people, and they arrested all of the medicine doctors, killing several of them. The people believed that the doctors protected them from evil, so all of the pueblo towns wanted to unite against the Spaniards. The group from the pueblos went to the governor of Santa Fe and told him that if the doctors that were imprisoned weren't released by sundown, all of the Spaniards in New Mexico would be killed. They released the prisoners because the Indians outnumber the Spaniards by a huge amount. Hate and anger was spreading throughout the pueblos concerning the Spaniards power in New Mexico. There was a small skirmish in Santa Fe that the Indians won, but Pope said they needed more than that. He wanted Indian organization, leadership, and a magic spark with which to set the country aflame. He traveled to each pueblo and won their loyalty during secret meetings he held. He wanted each pueblo to strengthen the courage of their

    Metacom's Rebellion Summary

    King Philip’s War is a pivotal point in America’s past. It falls between that first thanksgiving and the time of Cowboys versus Indians. The name, King Philip’s War, most likely evokes an image of a stuffy European king who waged a battle long forgotten. The name is derived from King Philip, chief of the Wampanoag tribe, his Algonquian name was Metacom. The battle that ensued between the Algonquians and the English was the “most fatal war in all of American history but also one of the most merciless” (xiii, Lepore). Perhaps the name “Metacom’s Rebellion” might have been more suited to eliciting the correct image, however, that would have legitimized the Indian independence exuded in the conflict. The name itself is…

    Popé's Rebellion: The Pueblo Revolt Of 1680

    The Pueblo Revolt of 1680, also known as Popé's Rebellion, was the rebellion of the Pueblo people toward the Spaniards. The Pueblo people were lead by a medicine man named Popé. (A medicine man is “a man believed to be able to heal others by making use of supernatural powers, especially among Native North American peoples.”) Popé belonged to the Tewa tribe. He was originally from San Juan but was forced to take refuge in Taos because it became too dangerous for him to stay. Popé’s objective was to restore the tradition of Pueblo religion and culture. August 1680 Popé held a meeting with some Pueblo Indians to go over the details of their plan. The plan was to eliminate all Spanish influences. He also declared that everything that had to do…

    apache vs u.s settlers

    The apache tribe had to act the way they did because they were in an “eat or be eaten” situation. The government would raid entire villages murdering men, women, and children. So the apache acted out of revenge to avenge the family members who were all murdered. Even though the apache tribe would try to run away, the O’odham tribe, Mexican Americans, settlers, or United States government would find them and attack them before they could settle down and grow crops. As a result, this led to the apache tribe forced to raid other villages and camps for food and supplies that they aren’t able to get for themselves.…

    King Philip's War and the Pueblo Revolt

    Despite being separated by an entire continent, King Phillip’s War and The Pueblo Revolt paralleled each other in their causes, courses, and consequences. In New England, King Philip’s War was a conflict between the Wampanoag Indians and the English settlers of the Plymouth Colony from1675 to 1677. Far, far away in what is now New Mexico, the Pueblo Revolt was an uprising of Pueblo Indians against the Spanish settlers in the colony of Santa Fe de Nuevo México in 1680. Their similarities explain much about the relationships between Native Americans and European colonists at the time.…

    King Philmas War Analysis

    In the article, Philip Ranlet analyzes the possible causes that led to King Philip’s War to deconstruct the misleading interpretations often made by historians about the crucial event. Ranlet’s “Another Look at the Causes of King Philip’s War” contributes to the New Left historiographical discussion because the historians demand the inclusion of those features of our history that explains how we came to be a violent, racist, repressive society. The interpretation of some historians are often influenced by the time period the event is being analyzed. For example, nineteenteenth century historian, John Gorham Palfrey, referred to King Philip as “ ‘an unreasoning and cruel barbarian’ who had no cause to war against the Puritan settlers.”(Ranlet…

    What Role Did The Pueblo Indians Play In American History

    In the 1680s, the Pueblo Indians revolted against their Spanish rulers. This revolt was not only one of the most successful revolts but it also plays a number of significant roles in American History. There are many things that caused this revolt, the first being the forced labor and cruel treatment done to the Indians by the Spanish. The second being that the Spanish forced the Pueblo Indians to convert their religion to Catholicism. Both of these things ultimately lead up to what we know today as the Pueblo…

    King Philip's War

    King Philip’s War lasted from 1675 to 1676. It was the bloodiest conflict between American colonists and Indians in the 17th century New England. By 1600, colonial settlers no longer depended on the Indians for survival; therefore they pushed into Indian Territory in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. To protect their lands, the Wampanoag chief, King Philip, also known as Metacom organized a federation of tribes, which in 1675 destroyed several frontier settlements. King Philip’s War was the beginning of the development of a greater American identity; the conflicts suffered by the colonists gave them a distinct identity than that of the subjects of the English crown.…

    The Role Of Spanish Colonization In Alta California

    Since their religion ran so deep, they had always believed everything that the Catholic Church stood for and told them. At first, there were many Ohlone Indians, which had rejected the Catholic conversion, for they found it offensive that the Spanish were attempting to change their religion. As a tribe who had set their life’s religion as it was for the past 2,000 years, it was almost threatening to have a group of strangers to come and push to convert from their religion. The only reason for which the natives had approached the Spanish was out of curiosity and a hope of having trade relations with them. One way in which the padres took the Ohlone in and gained power over them was through baptism.…
