Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacon's Rebellion was led by Nathaniel Bacon, who was frustrated with the Virginia governor's refusal to allow white settlers to expand into Native American lands. Bacon and his followers attacked Native American villages and temporarily took control of Jamestown. However, the rebellion was ultimately suppressed by the British army. After the rebellion, Virginia's wealthy plantation owners began to turn away from indentured servants as labor and instead turned to African slavery, which became the dominant labor system in Virginia and other southern colonies.
