Question

What effect did bacons rebellion have on Virginia ?

Answer 1

One effect of the rebellion was the right to bear arms, but the most well known effect was the adoption of slavery as a primary source of labor by Virginia. The people saw slavery as an option to satisfy the rebels, who were mostly poor white farmers.

Answer 2

Bacon's rebellion led to the Colonists adopting slavery as the primary source for labor. Bacon's rebellion was led by a group of former indentured servants who were now free, without work, idle, and looking for trouble. With slaves they were never free, never looking for trouble, and never out on the prowl. After the 1676 rebellion led by Bacon, the colonies decided that black slaves from Africa would be the way to go, since they never got their freedom.
