Squanto FREED

What actually happened? Led by Hobomok, Miles Standish decided to bring fourteen men with him to go find the whereabouts of Squanto. It was decided that if Squanto was found dead, that they would cut off Corbitant's head, but not hurt anyone else in the tribe. If Squanto was found alive they would rescue him.

When they arrived in Namassakett, they went to the house that Hobomok and Squanto were kept prisoner, but couldn't find Corbitant. They found Squanto alive, rescued him without any bloodshed. Other sachems in the area as well as Massasoit were very pleased by the rescue of Squanto.

As for Corbitant, he moved to a tribe further South of Plymouth, in modern day Rhode Island.
