Detailed explanation-1: -The oppressive legislation, taxation policy, restrictive voting and representation rights, and emerging social classes were all causes of Bacon’s Rebellion much like they were during the buildup to the American Revolution throughout the 1750s and 1770s.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676 was the last major uprising of enslaved blacks and white indentured servants in Colonial Virginia. One consequence of the failed rebellion was the intensification of African slavery and the social separation of blacks and whites in Virginia.
Detailed explanation-3: -The headright system encouraged further colonization and slaughter of natives on lands they had been promised by the Treaty of Middle Plantation in 1677. After Bacon’s Rebellion and the new legislation, more land was taken, and the Native American reservations shrank further than they already had.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bacon’s Rebellion was a popular revolt in colonial Virginia in 1676 which was led by Nathaniel Bacon. The uprising developed because of high taxes, low prices for tobacco, and anger towards Sir Berkeley because he provided special privileges that were given to those close to the Berkeley.
