| This was a European as well as local war. Again, all the English settlers fled from Coastal Maine to safety further south. In New England, warfare occurred in the region between the Kennebec River of Maine in the east and the Connecticut River in the west. The European war ended in 1697 with the Treaty of Ryswick, but continued in New England for two more years. During the war French officers often accompanied Abenaki warriors in their New England raids. French weapons and military supplies assisted the Abenaki to carry out this war. The Jesuit Priests living among the Abenaki became a visible symbol of Abenaki/French relationships and this greatly concerned the English. | ||||
