Question

What was bacon's rebellion?

Answer 1

Bacon's Rebellion was an armed rebellion in 1676 by Virginia settlers led by Nathaniel Bacon against the rule of Governor William Berkeley. The colony's dismissive policy as it related to the political challenges of its western frontier, along with other challenges including leaving Bacon out of his inner circle, refusing to allow Bacon to be a part of his fur trade with the Native Americans, and Doeg tribe Indian attacks, helped to motivate a popular uprising against Berkeley, who had failed to address the demands of the colonists regarding their safety.

Answer 2

Bacon’s Rebellion was a rebellion that happened in the Colony of Virginia that was led by Nathaniel Bacon. The main reason for the rebellion was that farmers of the Colony accused Native Americans of several attacks and demanded action from Governor William Berkeley.

The Governor did not act as they wanted to, so Bacon reunited a group of rebels that ransacked the capital.
