9. In the chaotic, atrocity-filled conflict known as King Philip’s War, does anyone emerge as heroic? If so, what are the actions and qualities that identify him or her as a hero?
Benjamin Church is considered to be heroic due to his tracking down and killing of Phillip. Though this brought him glory, it was his true devotion to what he belief and sense of duty that made him the hero of the war. These attributes made people think highly of him not only as a military leader but also as a good, honest man in terrible times.
