During King Philip’s War (1675-1676) the city of Boston passed a law forbidding Native Americans to enter the city. Although it had not been enforced for centuries, the law remained on the books until it was repealed in 2005.
This war was really the last serious threat to the survival of the English colonies in North America. Metacom, who was chief of the Wampanoag tribe, and better known as King Philip, had scored a number of victories against the colonists, but this war turned the tide, and the tribe was never a serious threat again. King Philip was killed in the war, and his severed head was put on display in Plymouth as a warning.

Perhaps not for the average Joe, at this price…
