According to William Bradford who was the Puritan Governor of Plymouth County, Thomas Morton led an insurrection against Captain Wollaston when the captain took servants to Virginia to sell them on tobacco foundations.
Thomas Morton had liberal beliefs and did not like slavery so he encouraged the remaining indentured servants at the colony of Mount Wollaston to rebel against Lieutenant Fitcher who was the temporary leader that Captain Wollaston had left in charge and start to live as free people.
