Lepore, Jill The Name of War : King Philip's War and the Origins of American Identity 1978 King Philip's War erupted in Massachusetts in 1675. When it ended in 1678, vast numbers of homes and entire villages, both English and Native American, had been burned. In proportion, the loss of life was greater than in the Civil War. Both sides participated in the war with barbarity, slaughtering women and children and inflicting hideous torture upon captives. Lepore has conveyed the horror and stark brutality of the war in eloquent prose.
