The correct answer is B, as after the Bacon's Rebellion, the governor hanged 23 of the participants of the uprising.
The Bacon's Rebellion was an uprising in 1676 in the then British colony of Virginia in North America. It was led by the 29-year-old settler Nathaniel Bacon.
The uproar of a thousand people in Virginia was the result of their aversion to the friendly policy directed by Governor William Berkeley towards the Native Americans. There were attacks on Indians, Berkeley was attacked, and the government building in Jamestown was set on fire.
After the rebellion, Governor Berkeley returned to power, confiscated the property of several rebels and hanged 23 of them. Shortly thereafter reinforcements arrived from England, with a battalion of regulars, who condemned the harshness of the repression and started a work of armed pacification towards potential rebels and Indians on the border.
