In 1675 the lower class citizens of Virginia wanted to expand and gain cheaper land. The Yeoman farmers and non land holders wanted the government to expel or kill the Indians that were in the way of their expansion. In order to protect the upper class wealthy plantation owners, and have a ready supply of people for labor their plantation, both plantation owners and Governor Berkeley did not want this for the lower class. Against Governor Berkeley's orders, a militia attacked the Native Americans. In rebellion to these attacks the Native Americans started to raid the outer farms and plantations killing lower class colonists. Nathaniel Bacon, leader of the militia, asked Governor Berkeley for military protection from these raids. When Governor Berkeley denied them military protection against the attacks, again against the Berkeley's orders Bacon's militia attacked the native Americans. Berkley then had Bacon declared a traitor and was arrested. After Bacon's release, Bacon still angry at Berkeley for how he and the lower class people had been treated, gathered a militia together and marched against Berkeley driving him into hiding, overthrowing the government, and burning Jamestown to the ground. Soon after, Bacon died suddenly of dysentery and Berkeley regained control.

Baconâ??s Rebellion was a result of colonists conflict with both Native Americans as well as the governor. Colonists demanded that Powhatan tribes be forcibly removed from their own lands which defied a British treaty with the native people. When Governor, Sir William Berkeley refused, Nathan Bacon and his men invaded and massacred everyone in an Powhatan village, including women and children. Claiming Berkeley failed to protect colonists, levied unfair taxes and other grievances, Bacon and his men rebelled, burning the state house to the ground and ransacking Berkeleyâ??s belongings.
