The Chesapeake Rebellion of 1730 was not primarily a slave revolt; it was a protest led by white indentured servants against oppressive labor conditions and the colonial system. While enslaved Africans were part of the broader context of labor exploitation in the region, the rebellion itself was mainly driven by the grievances of indentured servants who sought better treatment and freedom. The uprising highlighted tensions between various social classes in colonial Virginia rather than a unified revolt of enslaved individuals.

In the late 16th century and early 17th century native Americans died of disease too often to prove a reliable slave work force for plantation owners. Indentured servants started to prove useful but eventually their revolts and better employment opportunities in Europe made them a hard and risky commodity. Slave traders in the indies and coastal Africa had already established a trade of Africans that at the beginning of the 17th century started to become a more attractive workforce to plantation owners in the colonies. Slaves hardly ever represented a revolt threat in the early years because all of them spoke different dialects and languages. They also became a more easily obtainable commodity as the trade increased and represented a better long-term investment and began to quickly outnumber indentured servants and white colonists as a whole.
Anything could have been prevented in History, but you cannot alter the past. Just make sure history does not repeat itself. However to answer the question, it could have been prevented by better treatment of indentured servants, who were essentially white slaves, who had to work to pay off their voyage to the New World and then acquire land of their own and become rich. However their dream were crushed quickly because their master usually had no intentions to give them any land. One indentured servant, named Bacon, was fed up and led a revolt. Perhaps if they were better treated, they would not have revolted.
