When Christians began coming to the new land, they perceived that Native Americans to be savages; those of monstrous, no faith in god, uncivilized, and barbarian mannerisms. As tension grew between the Natives and the Christians over the taking of land and mistreatment of Natives by Christians lead to a series of Indians wars, most notably the King Philips War. During one of the attacks carried out by the Natives, Mary Rowlandson was captured and held captive for 11weeks. Her preconceived ideas of Natives being savages slightly changed during her time spent held captive and she soon learned that the division between Christians and Natives are minimal.
