The Pequot are broken by the destruction…
June 1637 CE
The Pequot are broken by the destruction of their people and the village of Mystic.
The English victory has also deprived them of their allies.
Forced to abandon their villages, the Pequot flee—mostly in small bands—to seek refuge with other southern Algonquian peoples.
Those who survived the massacre are enslaved, with some forced to become household servants of the Puritan English.
More are sent to the West Indies.
Many are hunted down by Mohegan and Narragansett warriors, enemies of the Pequot who have allied themselves with the English colonies.
The largest group, led by Sassacus, are denied aid by the Metoac (Montauk, or Montaukett) from present-day Long Island.
Sassacus leads roughly four hundred warriors west along the coast toward the Dutch at New Amsterdam and their Native allies.
When they cross the Connecticut River, the Pequot kill three men whom they encounter near Fort Saybrook.
