I was expelled from my all-girls high school for being a #lesbian & put in a mental hospital for #conversiontherapy.

2/ ...prior like #PequotWar & #KieftsWar. Formally neutral in the war in early 1675, the #NarragansettIndians' territory had served as a safe haven 4 wounded #NativeAmerican, mostly #Wampanoag, soldiers fighting in the conflict. The #UnitedColonies...
3/ ...(aka #MassachusettsBay, @Plimoth, #Connecticut & #NewHaven) demanded the #NarragansettIndians turn over these combatants, but the natives delayed any formal response. John Easton, in his "A Relation of the Indian Warr" wrote that soon after this refusal...
