Abenaki War, First

Years: 1675 - 1678

The Second War of Puritan Conquest or King Philip's War (after the native leader of the aboriginal forces) rapidly spills into Abenaki territory with a bloody attack by English colonists on a native fishing camp on the Connecticut River.

Abenaki fighters, allied to France, strike at the new English settlements along the Connecticut River, driving out the colonists.

“Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to know them, if only to avoid them. The counterfeits of the past assume false names, and gladly call themselves the future. Let us inform ourselves of the trap. Let us be on our guard. The past has a visage, superstition, and a mask, hypocrisy. Let us denounce the visage and let us tear off the mask."

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)
