I thought this was about the Pilgrims relationship with the Wampanoag not about what happened with the Pequot.

The Facts are the Pilgrims were there when the Massacre happened, but it was John Mason of the Connecticut Colony who gave the Orders for the Massacre so putting all the blame on the Pilgrims is not fair.

The Truth is the Original Pilgrims got along fine with the Wampanoag which was the Tribe that helped them and the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims lived in peace for about 50 years as best as I can determine.

At least the Original Pilgrims did not stab the people who helped them in the back like a lot of other Americans did.

What seems to be happening in this Topic is similar to what happens with the issue of Blacks being Slaves where White Americans and White Europeans get all the blame, and the Truth that it was other Blacks who sold their fellow Blacks into slavery and it was also Muslims who sold the Blacks to the European and American Slave Traders is totally ignored.

The Truth is the history of the relationships between Native Americans and every Colony and after the Revolution the United States has been totally rotten and a lot of Atrocities have occurred on both sides with us White People setting new Standards of Barbarity.

The South had it's share of Barbarity, like what happened with the Cherokees, and a little closer to your area, I suppose you have heard of Wounded Knee and then there is what our Great Republic did to the Nez Perce.

At least there was a little Payback, with what happened to Custer.

And if you really are interested in the Evil that so called Civilized Europeans, this time the Spaniards, are capable of doing to so called Savages do a search for Dogs of the Conquest.

The Truth seems to be that the Original Pilgrims treated the Native Americans a whole lot better then just any other group in American History.
