In 1676, Virginia's economy was primarily agrarian, heavily reliant on tobacco cultivation, which had become the colony's main cash crop. The economy faced challenges, including labor shortages and social unrest, highlighted by Bacon's Rebellion, where discontent among frontier settlers, indentured servants, and enslaved Africans led to conflict against colonial authorities. This unrest stemmed from issues such as land disputes and a lack of representation, further complicating the economic landscape. Overall, while tobacco continued to drive economic growth, the social tensions indicated underlying instability.
