The correct answer is:

Both colonists and Indians suffered many deaths of innocent people.

Although the Pequot War (1636-38) and King Philip's War (1675-76) concluded with the elimination of the Pequots, Both colonists and Indians suffered many deaths of innocent people.

By the end, around 700 Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity and hundreds were sold into slavery to the West Indies.

On the other side, Wampanoags led attacks on more than half of the ninety puritan towns in New England, destroying twelve of them and massacring about 1,000 puritans.
