Pequot War, Mystic Massacre, 1637

Engraving depicting the attack on the Pequot fort, published in 1638 shows the first surrounded by an inner ring of Colonial musketeers and an outer ring of their Mohegan allies.The Mystic massacre took place on May 26, 1637, during the Pequot War, when English settlers under Captain John Mason, and Narragansett and Mohegan allies set fire to a fortified Pequot village near the Mystic River. They shot and killed the entire village, consisting mostly of women and children, in retaliation for previous Pequot attacks. The Pequot War was an armed conflict spanning the years 1634-1638 between the Pequot tribe against an alliance of the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies who were aided by their Native American allies the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes. At the end of the war, about seven hundred Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity. It would take the Pequot more than three and a half centuries to regain political and economic power in their traditional homeland region along the Pequot and Mystic rivers in what is now southeastern Connecticut.

Pequot War, Mystic Massacre, 1637
Légende:
Traduction automatique: La gravure représentant l'attaque du fort Pequot, publiée en 1638, montre le premier entouré d'un anneau intérieur de mousquetaires coloniaux et d'un anneau extérieur de leurs alliés Mohegan. Le massacre mystique a eu lieu le 26 mai 1637, pendant la guerre Pequot, lorsque les Anglais les colons dirigés par le capitaine John Mason et les alliés de Narragansett et Mohegan ont incendié un village fortifié Pequot près de la rivière Mystic. Ils ont abattu tout le village, composé principalement de femmes et d'enfants, en représailles aux précédentes attaques des Pequot. La guerre Pequot était un conflit armé s'étendant sur les années 1634-1638 entre la tribu Pequot et une alliance des colonies de Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth et Saybrook qui étaient aidées par leurs alliés amérindiens, les tribus Narragansett et Mohegan. À la fin de la guerre, environ sept cents Pequots avaient été tués ou emmenés en captivité. Il faudrait plus de trois siècles et demi aux Pequot pour regagner le pouvoir politique et économique dans leur région natale traditionnelle, le long des rivières Pequot et Mystic, dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le sud-est du Connecticut.
