Pequot War
Send to Google Classroom:
The Pequot War (1636-1638) was a conflict between the Native American Pequot tribe of modern-day Connecticut and the English immigrants who had established settlements in New England between 1620-1630. The immediate cause of the war was the murder of two English traders, Captain John Stone (d. 1634) and John Oldham (l. 1592-1636), allegedly by the Western Niantic tribe, allies and tributaries of the Pequot. In 1636, the Massachusetts Bay Colony’s third governor, Sir Henry Vane (l. 1613-1662) sent John Endicott (l. c. 1600-1665) on an expedition to Block Island, where Oldham was killed, to demand from the Western Niantic the surrender of the murderers. Endicott wound up burning the native villages there and killing one man before sailing on to a coastal Pequot village, burning it, killing more people, and destroying crops. In retaliation, the Pequots began raiding English settlements and killing colonists.
Mashantucket Eastern Connecticut was again a focal point of Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout Monday, with Hartford HealthCare executives and a top state official attending a late-morning news conference marking the opening of a mass vaccination site at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Some 1,000 teachers and school staff had been vaccinated at the site the previous day.
State Attorney General William Tong used the occasion to urge immigrants to get vaccinated, noting they needn’t provide a Social Security number, immigration papers, a passport or a green card before rolling up their sleeves. They need only meet the age standard, currently 55 years or older, he said.
