Rich · Answer 2

The correct answer is B) Other Native Americans joined the war, some siding with the settlers and some with Metacom.

The reaction of other Native American groups to King Philip's War was that other Native Americans joined the war, some siding with the settlers and some with Metacom.

Native American tribes tried to drive out the colonists from their territories with the so-called King's Philip War from 1675 to 1676, fourteen months of attacks. Chief Metacom, the leader of the Pokunoket - also known as King Philip - led his people into the battles and was joined by other tribes such as the Pocumtucks, Nipmuck, and Narragansetts.

Other Indian tribes such as the Pequot, the Mohegan, the Nauset, and Massachusetts, sided with the British and fought against Metacom. On August 1676, Metacom was captured and killed. The war was over.
