The founding of English colonies in modern Massachusetts combined a strange mix of idealism and violence. Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. 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 contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. He always intimidated everyone like there was this one person that he threatened with a knife and a said they were going to marry each other. he did a sneak attack on one of the Indian places and scared them so bad that some of them tried to run through the walls.

Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. He and his men and they were all around a bog and captured him. Church cut off Phillips head and put in on a pole it was decaying for 15 years. Church took Phillips hand and preserved it in rum.

Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. the Pilgrims wanted to have free religion. they wanted more land. they wanted to have a house on top of a hill so that everyone could see them and were hoping that everyone would act like them.

It is important to understand the entire history of the areas of America and is consider to be our nation's beginning. the Pilgrims were the first settlers to come to America. they are known as the founders of America. the Pilgrams didn't come over here to kill the indians they came over to origionally get gold, find the northway passage or find India which is why we call the indians indians.
