Bacon's Rebellion was a rebellion of freed former indentured white servants in 1676 led by Nathaniel Bacon. They did not have land, and so were pushed into the untamed countryside to find land. Virginia's governor at the time, William Berkeley, had friendly policies towards the Native Americans. The freed men were angry over the governor's refusal to retaliate Native American attacks on the frontier settlements, and attacked the Native Americans themselves before burning the capitol of Virginia and chasing Berkeley away. Bacon died suddenly of disease, and the rebellion fell apart, with over 20 rebels being hanged by Berkeley.
