question 7 of 10
what effect did english settlement of the plymouth colony have on the
pequot peoples?

a. it created friction with other indigenous peoples of the new
england region.

b. it led to their being forced to convert to christianity and adopt
english customs.

c. it led to their being slaughtered and enslaved after several wars
with the english.

d. it enabled them to establish stronger trade networks that helped
them prosper.

Explanation:

The English settlement in Plymouth led to conflicts with the Pequot. The Pequot War resulted in the Pequot being massacred, enslaved, and their population devastated. Option A is about friction with other Indigenous groups (not the direct effect on Pequot). Option B overstates forced conversion (more about conflict and violence). Option D is incorrect as trade didn't prosper them; instead, conflict harmed them.

Answer:

C. It led to their being slaughtered and enslaved after several wars with the English.
