This book takes a new approach by synthesizing the work of scholars
of military and Indigenous history to provide the first
chronologically ordered, region-wide, and long-term narrative
history of conflict in the Early American Northeast. War and
Colonization in the Early American Northeast focuses on war and
society, European colonization, and Indigenous peoples in New
England from the pre-Columbian era to the mid-eighteenth century.
It examines how the New English used warfare against Native
Americans as a way to implement a colonial order. These conflicts
shaped New English attitudes toward Native Americans, which further
aided in the marginalization and the violent targeting of these
communities. At the same time, this volume pays attention to the
experiences of Indigenous peoples. It explores pre-Columbian Native
American conflict, and studies how colonization altered the ways of
warfare of Indigenous people. Native Americans contested New
English efforts at colonization and used violent warfare strategies
and raids to target their enemies - often quite successfully.
However, in the long run, depending on time and geographic
location, conflict and colonization led to dramatic and violent
changes for Native Americans. This volume is an essential resource
for academics, students, academic libraries and general readers
interested in the history of New England, military, Native
American, or U.S. history.
