The Pequot War ends with the signing…
September 1638 CE
The Pequot War ends with the signing of the Treaty of Hartford on September 21, 1638.
Remaining Pequot are sold as slaves or servants and their lands taken.
The Mohegan in particular treat their Pequot hostages so severely that colonial officials of Connecticut Colony will eventually remove them.
A few Pequot will manage to return or survive in their traditional homeland along the Pequot (present-day Thames) and Mystic rivers in what is now southeastern Connecticut, as marginal inhabitants of a once populous, politically powerful territory.
The Pequot numbers are so diminished that they effectively cease to be a tribe (though their few descendants will manage a resurgence in the later twentieth century).
