Consequences of King Philip's War

 Native People
 
Out of 15,000 to 18,000 at the beginning of hostilities:

• 2000 were killed in action or by execution.

• 1000 were sent in slavery to the West Indies.

• 2000 went west to New York or north to Canada joining other native tribes. (estimate)

• 4000 remained in New England; at least half became indentured servants.

• 6000+ unaccounted for, assumed dead from disease and starvation.

4% of the estimated number of native people in 1600 remained in New England at the end of the war.

Losses:

• their land

• their independence

• their autonomous power

• their influence on colonial society and politics.
  
  The natives who aided the colonists reaped no benefit except their lives.
  Many natives lived in designated land, the beginning of reservations.
  The native people who remained were closely supervised by the colonists.
