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. Miles Standish killed lots of Indians. Any one that he saw. He used a lot of guns and sometimes chopped a guys head off and put it on there fence. Miles Standish would do what ever it took to kill any Indian that he saw on the streets or even if they were on there land. This relates by how they all used the violence to be understood.

Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. He would do what it took to keep his people safe. When king Philips war was going on there was total chaos on trying to keep Benjamin church's people safe. He would take his own life to save his people. It would relate because he would want to show violence to keep everyone safe.

Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. The pilgrims still had there religious preferences despite there violence. Some of the colonies found there religious idealism. Even though they had there differences they came together for there religion. They all had violence except when they had there religion which it brought them together.

The violence and religious stuff actually brought them together because of the idealism. That some people were rude and cruel to everyone in the end of everything. That there were people who would use anything or do anything to protect there people. Even with there differences they can come together for there religions. This paper is important because it shows us the importance of history and how things were years ago against the Indians.
