The Effects of Bacon's Rebellion.
Bacon’s rebellion was the first rebellion in the 13 colonies. It happened right after the english civil war. Everyone was scared of another civil war because of the rebellion happening. Since the indentured servants of tobacco companies in Virginia joined in the rebellion, fear of another event like it set in and made people toughen the racial lines associated with slavery. They were tougher on these laws because it made it easier for the planters and the colony to control the poor. On the other hand, Bacon’s rebellion also did some good for different races. It actually unified different races and economic classes. Bacon’s rebellion had a huge impact on racial issues in the colonies.
Bacon’s Rebellion also impacted the colonies economically. Taxes were reduced in the colonies. There were lots of efforts to improve the image of those who governed Virginia. Freemen were given their rights back to them. Colonists were also glad that there had been an adoption of a more aggressive Indian policy. It was also said that Indians and white could not live together peacefully, and this led to the Indian Reservation system in 1677. Many good things came from Bacon’s rebellion.
