The Anglo-Pequot War, Part 2: Battle

[@UncivilHistory]

Do you think there was anything that could've been done, by the English OR the Pequots, to prevent this conflict? I am interested to hear what you think!

[@MrGencarrot]

Attack an enemy now. ~ AoE2 Taunt

[@eugeniobarreto]

The human groups believe in war to defend their "goods" and survive. To prevent war, maybe, we need to understand we are not enemies and the nature provides enouth for everyone. Pehaps, understand life in other perspective.

[@pinchevulpes]

You are surprisingly lenient to the English in describing their fanaticism during the puritan invasion. they were zealots who blamed minor inconveniences on those around them. It was impossible to co exist because their religious doctrine would not allow it. The Indians were plain and simple not human beings to them.

[@UncivilHistory]

@@pinchevulpes I simply didn't have time to go into that in this video. I summarized this point (the "other" complex) at the end of my Thanksgiving video and I felt it was rushed. There will be a Part 3 to my Pequot War series, in which I will discuss the ideological points further. This subject could be expanded to no end: the warping of "savage"; wilderness = evil; native powwows worshiping the devil; betraying oaths to natives; the forced Indian missions of the mid-17th century, etc.

[@UncivilHistory]

@@eugeniobarreto Well said, Eugênio! I don't think the English were ready to see things from your perspective in 1637, unfortunately. I only wish we understood different perspectives before so much culture was destroyed!

[@dr_drago]

Since I'm a weapons and armor nerd, I wanted to provide a fun fact about the weapons and armor of this war. At the time of the Pequot War, European settlers still wore body armor, which did a fantastic job of protecting them from Pequot arrows. The English were also replacing matchlock muskets with flintlocks, such that by the time the war began, the flintlock had partially replaced the matchlock. This gave colonists a significant advantage over the Pequot. As trade continued with Europeans afterwards, an increasing number of New England Native Americans acquired firearms, flintlocks in particular (the natives were very well aware of the flintlock's advantages over the matchlock). By the time King Philip's War began five decades later, most Native American hunters and fighters had flintlock firearms, as did most New England colonists. This, coupled with the fact that the colonists learned they could dodge arrows as long as they weren't surprised, led to most colonists eschewing body armor. So New England natives went from having serious disadvantages in military technology to being on equal footing with the colonists in the five decades between the Pequot and King Philip's War.

[@jeffreygao3956]

So, bows CAN beat primitive gunpowder!

[@dr_drago]

​@@jeffreygao3956 My brother in Christ, that is miles off from what I said, if not the opposite of it.

[@jeffreygao3956]

@@dr_drago Alright then, Native Americans fared better against flintlock armed line infantry than they did against Pike and shot.

[@dr_drago]

@@jeffreygao3956 Not only is that also not the takeaway of my comment, but that's not even true either. Forests made long pikes harder to use, and Native American warfare did not involve pitched battles, cavalry, or charges. As a result, pikes were virtually useless against Native Americans in battle. And starting from Pequot's War onward, flintlocks became more popular than matchlocks. All this reflected the European colonists adapting to Native American warfare. None of that pike and shot nonsense that, while certainly viable in Europe, was not viable in the forests of the New World. Now, using flintlock muskets (which the Native Americans THEMSELVES eventually widely adopted) and the natives' own combat tactics against them? That was the way to go.

[@jeffreygao3956]

@@dr_drago Well, I made a blunder! At any rate, escalation of firearms technology meant until the invention of kevlar in the late 20th century armor became unviable for the battlefield.

[@maxs.5112]

“Do you kill woman and children?” “You will see” *Native American rage* This part really got emotions running through me.

[@alexanderwalker8826]

there are no heroes only death

[@bigmoneydigs3043]

It's a false narrative. This is the actual letter from Gardiner urging the English not to go to war: ""It is all very well for you to make war who are safe in Massachusetts bay, but for myself and these few with me who have scarce holes to put our heads in, you will leave at the stake to be roasted. I have but twenty-four in all, men, women and children, and not food for them for two months, unless we save our corn field which is two miles from home, and cannot possibly be reached if we are in war." Gardiner feared the entire fort, including woman and children would be burned alive by the Pequot. It was custom for most tribes in that area to kill non-combatants, unlike the false history presented here. Gardiner had to watch several of his men be burned alive who were caught outside the fort. He did have great hatred for the Pequot and wanted them exterminated for what they did. He even offered rewards for Pequot heads. But that doesn't mean the Pequots didn't want to exterminate the English "mother and son". This is an insanely false narrative.

At the same time, the infamous Thirty Years War was taking place in Europe, over several complicated religious and political issues in the Holy Roman Empire, and five years later, a long Civil War began in old England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, over whether absolutist monarchy should prevail over parliamentary democracy, or vice versa. It would be interesting for an animated video to explain how these extremely vicious and destructive old-world conflicts influenced the history of the rest of the world, including mainland Europe's colonies and England's colonies in the Americas.

[@cosmicflowdn1197]

Contrary to presumptions, the 'Native Americans' actually mainly used cannons and firearms, weren't as hot headed as most would depict them, and most of their demise really stemmed from their own kind providing inside information to the foreigners leading to subtle treaties that relinquished economic power rather than outright loss via confrontations or bloodshed. Either way, it's all part of the art of war. Internal feud is what often breaks the backbone of any side during feud.

These settlers weren't going to 'mix and assimilate' they were die hard religious zealots who wanted their space and had dogma telling them natives and Africans were a subspecies they shouldn't mingle with.
