Bacon's Rebellion

Bacon's Rebellion started small and had escalated into something very violent. Gov. Berkeley was very unjust, as he forced the poorest colonists to pay very high taxes they could not afford. It was also wrong for him to deny the poor frontier settlers plead for military support. I agree with Nathaniel Bacon's rebel against Berkeley's refusal, he was very justified. Although Bacon did not need to be as harsh with the innocent Native American's, it was wrong for Berkeley to deny him and others.

  1. Try to expand a bit on the background to have more to explain in paragraphs two and three. Explain, explain and explain in more detail to defend your view.
