Massasoit, the Wampanoag sachem, formed a peaceful alliance with the English settlers, which was exemplified by the signing of the Mayflower Compact in 1621. However, his son Metacom (also known as King Philip) led an uprising against the English colonists in 1675 known as King Philip's War, due to growing tension and conflicts over land and resources. Metacom's actions were in contrast to his father's earlier efforts to maintain peace and cooperation with the English.
King Philip's War took place from 1675-1676. King Philip was actually just a name the English settlers gave to him. His name was Metacom and he was a leader of the Native American tribe, the Wampanog.
