By the time of King Philip’s War, 1675–1676, the colonists were well accustomed to the sending of Indian captives out of the country, and to the use of them in their homes.[446] The policy followed toward the Indians captured in this war was the same as that shown in the Pequot War. The captives were either exported for sale in the European or West Indian slave markets, or were retained in servitude in the colonies. In the beginning of the war, Captain Moseley captured eighty Indians, who were retained at Plymouth. In the following September, one hundred and seventy-eight were put on board a vessel commanded by Captain Sprague who sailed from Plymouth with them for Spain.[447] In this same year, 1675, Indians, probably from the coast of Maine, were landed as slaves at Fayal, one of the Azores.[448] Again in 1675, fifteen Indians were captured and sent to Boston, “tied neck to neck, like galley slaves.” Much against the will of the populace they were given a trial. All were finally acquitted except two who were sentenced to be sold out of the country as slaves.[449] During the years 1675 and 1676, one finds mention of the sale of Indians in Plymouth in groups of about a hundred,[450] fifty-seven,[451] three,[452] one hundred and sixty,[453] ten,[454] one.[455] From June 25, 1675 to September 23, 1676, the records show the sale by the Plymouth colonial authorities of one hundred and eighty-eight Indians.[456] In the Massachusetts Bay colony a similar disposal of captives was accomplished. On one occasion about two hundred were transported and sold.[457] There is extant a paper written by Daniel Gookin in 1676, one item of which is as follows: “a list of the Indian children that came in with John of Packachooge.” The list shows twenty-one boys and eleven girls distributed throughout the colony.[458] With the close of the war after Philip’s death, many of the Indian chiefs were executed at Boston and Plymouth, and most of the remaining chiefs with their captive followers were sold and shipped off as slaves outside the colonies.[459] Those transported were carried to various parts: the Spanish West Indies, Spain, Portugal, Bermuda, Virginia,[460] and the Azores.[461] Not all the Indians whose lives were spared were transported.[462] Generally the men, rather than the women and children, were thus disposed of, though such was not always the case. One finds instances, like that of Philip’s wife and son,[463] when women and children were transported, and other instances when grown male Indians were retained in the colonies and sold to the colonists.[464]
