Question

...with each other during the early to mid 17th century and describe the resulting conflicts that erupted between the two groups.

Answer 1

The differences were vast, involving religion, community, moral values, and attitudes toward property. The native peoples tended to be nomadic and lacked a full understanding of the meaning of land ownership and the restrictions that such a concept imposed. By 1675 Wampanoag chief Metacom had had enough and began the uprising known as King Philip’s War, almost wiping out the English population of Massachusetts.
