Final answer:

Bacon's group believed that the colonial government did not protect settlers enough from Native Americans and pursued a policy of extermination against them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacon's group, as part of Bacon's Rebellion, had a negative view on policy toward the Native American tribes. They believed that the colonial government, led by Governor William Berkeley, did not do enough to protect English settlers from the Native Americans and hindered their access to land. Bacon and his followers pursued a policy of extermination, viewing all Native peoples as obstacles to their access to land.

This rebellion ultimately led to the consolidation of power in the hands of influential families and the expansion of slavery in Virginia.
