Willliam Berkeley was governor of the Virginia colony during the rebellion led by Nathaniel Bacon.
Nathaniel Bacon was responsible for Bacon's Rebellion, in which Virginia settlers rebelled against William Berkeley, the colonial governor of Virginia. Bacon died from dysentery on October 26, 1676 at the age of 29.
The Royal Governor, William Berkely, had pushed very high taxes through the colonial legislature, the House of Burgesses, which were perceived as chiefly having the purpose of enriching Berkely and his friends. When Indian trouble, largely instigated by white settlers, broke out on the frontier, Berkely proposed passive defensive measures which the frontier communities found inadequate. That led to the rebellion under Nathanial Bacon. Thus it was the two issues of unfair taxation and inadequate defensive measures that caused the uprising.
