The Royal Governor, William Berkely, had pushed very high taxes through the colonial legislature, the House of Burgesses, which were perceived as chiefly having the purpose of enriching Berkely and his friends. When Indian trouble, largely instigated by white settlers, broke out on the frontier, Berkely proposed passive defensive measures which the frontier communities found inadequate. That led to the rebellion under Nathanial Bacon. Thus it was the two issues of unfair taxation and inadequate defensive measures that caused the uprising.
A Virginia settler, Nathaniel Bacon, was upset at the friendly relations between the Royal Governor and Native Americans, and lead a rebellion against the government.

It was a rebellion against the government by the Planters, who were led by Bacon. The Planters did not like that the Virginia government would not stand up against the Native Americans but instead offered friendly politics. In 1674 a group of yeoman farmers on the Virginia frontier demanded that American Indians living on treaty protected lands be driven out or killed. When the government refused, Bacon and his small army drove Governor Berkeley from Jamestown, VA and they torched the capital. This was the first rebellion in the American colonies.
