Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. It is important to understand the full history of these areas because this is what Americans generally consider to be our nation's beginning.
Miles Standish proteted his colony any way that he could and in this case used violence. Miles Standish ran into the wigwams scarring the native americans so bad that they tried to run through the walls of the wigwam. The second way Miles Standish shows protecting his colony by violence is when he took a knife off a necklace an indian had and stabbed him with it. The third violent thing Miles Standish does to protect his colony was whenever he would see an indian with a pilgrim he would shoot the indian. The signifigance of this position is violence, Miles Standish is killing all of these Native Americans because he thinks that they're going to kill the pilgrims so he targets and kills the native americans first. Miles Standish uses violence to protect his colony the way he knew best
Benjamin Church plays an important role in protecting his colonies during King Phillips war. Benjamin Church caught Annawon by sneaking in behind to men who led him to Phillip and his tribe.

The signifigance of position is violence Benjamin Church and his men were in a war against King Phillip they used viloence and killed native americans to protect their fellow pilgrims.
Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. Pilgrims came to America for freedom of religion, back in England they were not allowed to pratice what they believed they had to pratice what the king decided. The second reason why pilgrims came to America was the freedom to own their own property, if they owned their own property they had control of themseves, when they worked how long they worked etc.The third thing that pilgrims believed was that all children should be in public school so that they can learn to read and write, this goes along with freedom of religion they learned how to read so that they could read the bible. The signifigance of position is that pilgrims come to America because of idealism wanting freedom to do as they please and how.

Benjamin Church and his people were in a war with King Philip, he proteteced his people by killing the Native Americans. The pilgrims came to America for freedom but found out that once they got here it was going to be a lot harder than they anticipated.
