Pequot

had taken its toll on the Indians and stricken by death a quarter of the Indian population before the colonist had even arrived at Plymouth. The settlers viewed their deaths as an act of God. The Pequot wars had begun with heavy fighting against the New Englanders, which they killed off all of the Pequot Indians,…

Recall a time you were pleasantly surprised, let it be subtle or the biggest surprise of your life. Remember how you felt, were you happy? Nothing could bring you down, that's how I felt about moving to Pequot. At first I was, of course, upset to hear the news we were moving. I had to leave my friends behind, I had to leave my school! That meant leaving Kaylee and Lily, my best friends. After a bit of thinking I realized maybe a fresh start wouldn’t be all so bad. I mean, I could start over, no…

During the Pequot Massacre, the Puritans attacked the indigenous people and invaded their villages. The Puritans burned the Pequots village to the ground which caused the majority of the members to die. The rest of the Pequots were haunted down, killed by sword, or sold into slavery. Only a few escaped from the english settlers and those who remained volunteered themselves as slaves so they were not killed. Before King Philips War, relationships between the english settlers and natives began…

famous battle of the Pequot War was that of the Mystic Fort Campaign, also known as the Massacre at Mystic. In May of 1637, English men from Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford, Massachusetts Bay soldiers, and Mohegan and Connecticut River Indian warriors joined together. With these Native and English troops allied together, there were over one hundred and fifty men, who would win sail to join with the Narragansett who had another two hundred men prepared to fight against the Pequot. They spent…

In America, we love to gamble. Whether it is on sports, dogs, horses, or cars, or even if it is in a casino- we cannot get enough of it. There are about fifteen hundred casinos in the country, scattered from one side of the continent to the other. That is more casinos than any other in the states, and most go all out to make each and every patron welcome and go the extra mile to make everyone feel like a superstar. Most are more than just a simple place to gamble, but they also have shows, a bar…

different tribes because the Narragansett, Mohegan tribes and the Pequot Indians were either already at war with one another or with the Pequot’s. But the other tribes didn’t realize what they had gotten themselves into the ones that join with the English that for one they had lied about leaving the women and children alone and also that in the end the English would start a war with them as well and along with all the other Pequot tribes. It’s affected the relationships between the Colonists and…

Friday Topic: Puritanism Miller, Perry. "Puritans and Puritanism." Dictionary of American History. Ed. Stanley I. Kutler. 3rd ed. Vol. 6. New York: Charles Scribner 's Sons, 2003. 555-557. U.S. History in Context. Web. 29 Sept. 2016 Many of us understand Puritans to be a group of people who fled England for religious freedom. This is not entirely true. Most of what we learned in school were watered down facts with lots of added sugar. Puritans were not the innocent (and I use that term…

into one specific event. For me, there were three revelations that became important in my understanding of adding real life context to Moby Dick. These experiences were: touring the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center and staying on the Joseph Conrad. Unfortunately, I never had heard the term “Pequot Tribe” before reading Moby Dick. In the novel, it seems to serve as a clever social statement Melville desires to convey. After all, he does mention the term constantly so a keen reader…

The goal of this paper is to discuss the Mashantucket Pequot Museums exhibits. I will further discuss how The Pequot tribe represent themselves and the differences between this museum and non-native museum. Before I start, I want to say thank you for this opportunity because it allowed me to see the history of the Pequot tribes in a visual way. The Museum started with having two canoes and many people on it which I think represent where they were going. Each exhibits has their own explanation of…
