BACON'S REBELLION
1676
1/4 of free men were landless
Events that lead up to the rebellion

Bacon was determined to kill ALL the Indians in Virginia
Bacon promised the men involved that he would free them from being servants & slaves
Men that joined
were landless servants, small farmers and slaves of the wealthy planters
Why Berkeley was did not concur with Bacon's idea
Berkeley didn't want warfare between the Indians & colonist b/c the Indians traded deerskin with the colonist that was profitable for them
Result of Bacon's frustration against Berkeley that resulted in the burning of Jamestown
Bacon and his now small army of a few 100 issued a
"Declaration of the People of Virginia"
for Berkeley's "corruption" & "attempting to take the governor into custody"
As a result of Berkeley resisting the Declaration,
Bacon's men in frustration
burned Jamestown

1619
A Dutch ship (White Lion) stopped at Jamestown & unloaded "20 Negars"
How slavery differed from region - region
In New England, there were not as many slaves due to there being no plantations so the pop. made up 2%; therefor "family slavery" prevailed with masters & slaves living under the same roof
Slavery was much more prevalent in the Chesapeake colonies & the Carolinas due to having plantations
With the slave population being so robust in the Chesapeake regions, the slaves pop. grew
Barbados Connection
To speed efforts to gain profits, the Carolinas recruited English planters from Barbados
The English there in Barbados had developed huge sugar plantations there
