Puritan relations with Indians sour quickly. In the Pequot War of 1637, Puritans seem determined to wipe the tribe from the face of the earth. Those Indians who are not killed are sent to the Caribbean in exchange for slaves. In the 1640s and 1650s Puritans establish Praying Towns for Native Americans who adopt the lifestyle of the Puritans. Attempts to isolate and exploit Indians anger King Philip and lead to a brutal war that the Puritans win despite high mortality rates on both sides. In the aftermath, the Indians are scattered and there is a period of relative peace.
