30 Jul 1676 Jahr - Bacon's Rebellion

Beschreibung:

Bacon's Rebellion was an armed rebellion led by Nathaniel Bacon, a wealthy landowner, against the rule of Governor William Berkeley in the Virginia Colony. The rebellion, which involved both indentured servants and enslaved Africans, was fueled by Berkeley's perceived inadequate protection of frontier settlers against Native American attacks, and it caused the shift from indentured servants to slave labor.
