The English government's policies, particularly the Headright System, incentivized landowners in Virginia to import enslaved Africans to cultivate tobacco, as they could receive land grants for each indentured servant or enslaved person brought to the colony. Additionally, the legal codification of slavery and the decrease in indentured servitude after Bacon's Rebellion made enslaved labor more appealing and economically viable for landowners. These policies created a system that entrenched slavery as a fundamental part of Virginia's economy and society.

Nathaniel Bacon (1640–1676) was an English colonist in Virginia known for leading Bacon's Rebellion in 1676. This uprising was a revolt against the colonial government's policies towards Native Americans and its failure to protect frontier settlers. Bacon's actions highlighted tensions between colonists and the colonial elite, ultimately leading to changes in Virginia's governance and increased reliance on enslaved labor. He died during the rebellion, which ultimately failed, but it had lasting effects on colonial policies.
The origins of Virginia began in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. The Virginia Company, which had been given the charter to found the colony, set up a General Assembly. In 1624, Virginia became a royal colony when the Virginia Company's charter was revoked. However, the General Assembly stayed in place which helped set a model for representative government in this and other colonies.
