  "Philip's supporters believed that in exchange for their loyalty that they could rely on Plymouth as a kind of protectorate. Events of the 1660s and 1670s, however, made it clear to the Wampanoags that their relationship with the colony had failed to protect them from English expansion. They had lost land while rival Christian Indians appeared to be gaining it. The Wampanoags felt they had to break off their political ties to Plymouth. They had to rebel." (pg. 1)
  The University of Massachusetts Press (1999)
