A major cause of the Pequot War and King Philips War were b) disagreements between Indians and colonists about land use and ownership. Many of the settlers wanted to use the land to live there with their families and wanted to trap animals to eventually sell them for fur-trading purposes, while the Native Americans saw it as their historical land where generations had lived there for years and wanted to continue to live there.
