Metacom, also known as King Philip, dealt with the increasing encroachment of English settlers on Native American lands in New England by uniting various tribes to resist colonial expansion. He sought to create a coalition that would push back against the settlers and maintain their sovereignty. This culminated in King Philip's War (1675-1676), a violent conflict that aimed to reclaim territory and assert Native American rights but ultimately led to significant loss for his people. Metacom's efforts reflected a desperate attempt to confront the existential threat posed by colonialism.
