Answer:
Bacon's Rebellion was a revolt in 1676 in the then British colony of Virginia in North America. It was led by 29-year-old settler Nathaniel Bacon.
The uproar of a thousand people in Virginia was the result of their aversion to the friendly policy towards the Indians conducted by Governor William Berkeley. The moment the governor refused to retaliate a number of Indians' attacks on colonial settlements in the border area, others took the law into their own hands. Attacks on Indians took place, Berkeley was attacked, and the government building in Jamestown was set on fire.
It was the first uprising in the American colonies in which dissatisfied settlers participated. A similar uprising also took place later that year in Maryland. In addition to a protest against raids at the border area, some historians also see Bacon against Berkeley and his opportunistic policy as a power game. The group of insurgents acted against the will of the ruling class, with the result that they have become stricter against the racial slave caste. Bacon eventually died of dysentery before British naval troops could come to the rescue of Berkeley. He was succeeded; however, the group fell apart and was disarmed by the troops. Although the farmers were unable to expel the Indians from Virginia, the rebellion led to the recall of Berkeley to England.
