King Philip is to be commended for an exellent name, for spelling it correctly.
He failed to grasp the importance of alliances, something which is at the core of The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico 1517-1521 by Bernal Diaz Del Castillo
In defense of whites vis a vis Indians [note the politically incorrect term in the American History Magazine article]: thirty years ago in the road house here The Line Camp where Lola [not her real name] and I danced to everybody from Tito Puente to Taj Mahal a busboy Tommy Vigil told me how his Indian [!] father and Spanish mother made him a coyote despised by both cultures. He wound up sitting outside freezing to death after one family fight. A tragedy as he was certainly not despised outside that family.
I enjoyed the tape my sister sent of a lecture to "health care professionals" by a self-described "New York cardiologist" [we get those here] who did his volunteer work on a New Mexico "reservation" where a "medicine man" lay dying in the clinic. The people came to get him for fiesta and the doc was so impressed by the elder's beating the lethal diagnosis to make it to fiesta he told the old man, "I'll see you tomorrow." "No, you won't," replied the medicine man. And of course he died in the morning, having lived just for his people and his fiesta.
So let us bring back the traditional English reward for treason, being the community coming together to hack the traitor to pieces.
