Question

Which was burned to the ground during Bacon’s Rebellion?

Answer 1

The town of Jamestown

Answer 2

Answer:

the town of Jamestown

Explanation:

Power corrupts and the repeated use of aggressive violence inevitably spirals upward and outward. That happened with Nathaniel Bacon. It began with the Indians and increasingly spread despotism and violence against the citizens of Virginia. After capturing Jamestown, Bacon burned it to the ground with the faint excuse of a hypothetical military necessity. The forces of Giles Brent, who was now a colonel, in the northern counties, and who had left Bacon's cause for Berkeley's and were on their way south, deserted altogether when they learned of Bacon's victory at Jamestown.
