About this listen
Today on Murderhobos: King Philip. A Wampanoag Sachem, whose name became synonymous with a bloody, horrific, war that nearly destroyed the English colonies of New England. The effectiveness of the Wampanoag and allied campaign led surviving colonists to construct a popular public memory of Philip as a bloodthirsty monster: the brutal, ugly leader, of a race of so-called savages. But Philip was a real person, who lived most of his life at peace. How did his memory become so effectively attached to later racist ideas like manifest destiny and westward expansion?
