For our first discussion, please watch the full video of "Jill Lepore King Philip's War and the Origins of American Identity: History, Effects, Facts (1998).
As you will hear, this was the bloodiest per capita war in American history. Much of the fighting raged in our backyard here in Connecticut, Massachussetts, and Rhode Island.
Your discussion post should be 500 words in length. Please note what you thought was particularly interesting in Lepore's presentation about the conflict and please discuss the war itself and its many consequences. Your only source for this discussion is the Lepore video.
Please also respond to a classmate's post as well. This post should be between 100 and 250 words.
Your initial post is due Thursday, February 24 by 11:59 p.m. Your reply post is due on Monday, February 28 by 11:59 p.m.
Prof. Maynard
