During Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, 23 men were hanged as a result of the conflict between Nathaniel Bacon's forces and the colonial government in Virginia. The rebellion arose out of grievances over colonial policies and the treatment of Native Americans. The executed men were mostly participants in Bacon's uprising, accused of treason against the colonial authority. The harsh reprisals were intended to deter further dissent and restore control.

Bacon's Rebellion was a rebellion of freed former indentured white servants in 1676 led by Nathaniel Bacon. They did not have land, and so were pushed into the untamed countryside to find land. Virginia's governor at the time, William Berkeley, had friendly policies towards the Native Americans. The freed men were angry over the governor's refusal to retaliate Native American attacks on the frontier settlements, and attacked the Native Americans themselves before burning the capitol of Virginia and chasing Berkeley away. Bacon died suddenly of disease, and the rebellion fell apart, with over 20 rebels being hanged by Berkeley.
Because he took full responsibility because the war was lost because sometimes even the rightous does not win sometimes evil goes unseen and men are hanged for lesser crimes He hanged because the only crime he did was fighting for what he thought was right.
19 people were hanged in the Salem Witch Trials and 1 (an old man) was killed by "pressing" because he refused a trial.
Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 had significant consequences that differed for various groups involved. For the colonial elites, it highlighted the need for a more consolidated power structure to prevent future uprisings, leading to reforms that included a shift towards a more racially stratified society to divide the lower classes. For the indentured servants and discontented landless men who participated, the rebellion resulted in harsher laws and increased restrictions on their rights and freedoms. Meanwhile, Native Americans faced intensified violence and land encroachment as a result of the rebellion, further exacerbating their marginalization.
