2 fev 1676 ano - Bacon's Rebellion

Descrição:

This refers to the attack by frontiersmen led by Nathaniel Bacon against the Native Americans in the Virginia backcountry; when the governor opposed Bacon’s action, Bacon attacked Jamestown, burned it, and briefly deposed the governor before the rebellion fizzled. This revolt is often viewed as the first strike against insensitive British policy, as a clash between East and West, and as evidence of the dangers of the indentured-servant system.It helped result in the phasing out indentured servitude and increasingly relying on African slaves.
