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.
