jan 13, 1676 - Bacon's Rebellion

Description:

Desc: Nathaniel Bacon led a rebellion consisting of dissatisfied indentured servants against Virginia Governor William Berkeley and the wealthy planter elite.

Historical Impact: The wealthy planter elite looked away from practicing indentured servitude and began investing in slavery.
