Which rebellion convinced wealthy planters that the best way to keep Virginian society stable was to have land available for the backcountry farmers?
The Bacon's Rebellion of 1676 convinced wealthy planters in Virginia that maintaining stability in society required addressing the grievances of backcountry farmers. The rebellion highlighted the tensions between wealthy landowners and poorer settlers who felt marginalized and lacked access to land. In response, planters recognized the need to provide land opportunities to backcountry farmers to prevent unrest and maintain social order. This shift ultimately led to a more inclusive land policy that aimed to appease the discontented farmers and secure the interests of the elite.
