The Native American ruler who led an attack on colonial villages throughout Massachusetts was called King Philip, also known as Metacom. He was the chief of the Wampanoag tribe and is best known for his role in King Philip's War (1675-1676), a conflict between Native American tribes and English settlers. The war was one of the deadliest conflicts in American history relative to the population at the time. King Philip's efforts aimed to resist colonial expansion and protect Native American lands.

Opechancanough led another attack on the English colonists primarily to resist their encroachment on Native American lands and to protect his people's autonomy. Tensions had escalated due to continuous settlement and land appropriation by the colonists, which threatened the traditional way of life for Indigenous tribes. Additionally, previous conflicts and betrayals had fostered a deep mistrust, prompting Opechancanough to seek a decisive confrontation to reclaim territory and assert control over the region.

In 1675, King Philip's War, a conflict between Native American tribes and English colonists in New England, broke out. The war resulted in significant casualties on both sides, destruction of colonial settlements, and a severe strain on relations between Native Americans and colonists. The defeat of the Native American alliance led to the further expansion of English colonial power in the region.
The small number of colonists in New Netherland were able to significantly impact Native American populations due to a combination of factors, including the introduction of diseases to which Native Americans had no immunity, and the use of superior weaponry by the Dutch. Additionally, the Dutch engaged in strategic alliances and trade with certain tribes, which sometimes led to conflicts with others. The dynamics of inter-tribal warfare and the colonists' expansion into Native lands further exacerbated the decline of Native American populations in the region.
