Answer 1

Answer:

C. a wealthy backcountry settler in Virginia

Explanation:

In 1673, he arrived from England to Virginia, where he acquired two plantations in the western territories bordering with the Indians. Protecting the interests of planters and farmers whose lands were in the west of the colony, he demanded decisive action by the colony administration to oust and exterminate the Indians, criticizing the governor and his entourage for their passivity and unwillingness to lose income from profitable trade with the Indian tribes. For disobedience to the governor, Nathaniel Bacon was declared a rebel. In the summer of 1676 he captured the capital of the colony - Jamestown - and forced the legislative assembly of the colony to adopt a series of decrees known as the Bacon's Laws.
