equally justice administered to all men," as stated by, Nathaniel Bacon. 1 In

1676 an uprising known as Bacon's Rebellion occurred in Virginia. The immediate

cause of this revolt was the dissension between the planters and the Indians.

Because Sir William Berkeley, the Governor of Virginia had willingly denied

support to the farmers, Bacon assumed leadership of an unauthorized expedition

against the Indians. When Bacon learned that Governor Berkeley was rising a

force against him, he turned away from the Indians to fight with Berkley. This

had now become a serious problem for the governor. When news of this revolt had

reached King Charles II, it alarmed him so that he dispatched eleven hundred

troops to Virginia, recalled his governor, and appointed a commission to

determine the causes of the dissatisfaction. Bacon's Rebellion is considered to

be the most important event in the establishment of democracy in colonial

America because the right to vote and social equality were denied to the farmers
