Answer: c. slaughter and enslavement.

The Pequot War is the name of an armed conflict that occurred between the English colonists and the Pequot tribe in New England, between 1636-1638. Nearly 700 Pequot people died or were taken into captivity. Hundreds were sold as slaves to the West Indies.  

The war meant the almost complete destruction of the Pequot culture, with colonists considering them extinct and survivors being absorbed into other local tribes.
