238 Words1 Page

Although, the Pequot War had ended the need for land still remained the main need among the colonist in the New World. This left a great opportunity for Massasoit to gain an upper hand and, continue to gain power by selling his lands to the English. These sells also brought peace between the tribes and the colonists but, this also gave Massasoit more power in the New World. Thus, “…from Massasoit’s perspective, his alliance with the English continued to serve him well.” This would last for years but, Massasoit’s power would be altered by a great change in the New World.

Colonists were the ones that needed that land; they depended on farming, and the overused infertile land coupled with overpopulation greatly escalated the demand for even more land. This frustration and need for fertile soil pushed the Americans to rebel against the British, causing the American Revolutionary
