Bacon's Rebellion was mainly caused by economic hardship and distrust of Virginia colonists who were unable to acquire land.

The armed confrontation called Bacon's Rebellion started in 1676 and ended in 1677. Nathaniel Bacon, a Virginia colonist, led a group of men that rebelled against the governor of the Virginia colony, William Berkeley. The rebels wanted to get land and overcome the economic problems they were living. Bacon also had issues with the government because Berkeley had prohibited him to trade fur with the Native American Indian tribes.
