ORIGINAL 13 COLONIES

Picture It… You are an Indentured Servant in Colonial America Tobacco has become the cash crop savior of the colony Everyone is trying to make $$$ planting it It is EVERYWHERE!!!

BUT… Tobacco is incredibly harsh on the land The Colonial Economy & Labor Force has become one-dimensional. Education is lacking Cities aren’t developing Indentured Servants are frustrated –h–high taxes –n–no more land left for them

What if something goes wrong…

PRECURSORS TO BACON’S REBELLION 1. One crop economy 2. Indentured Servitude 3. Labor / Soil Intensive Tobacco Crop

Something Does!!! As the market is flooded with tobacco, the price of tobacco plummets –F–Farmers not making much money –G–Go into debt –S–Still have heavy taxes As tobacco is harsh on the land, the soil needs time to replenish

What To Do??? Colonists thought if they could just get more land… –Could grow more tobacco –Sell more –Make more money!!! But there is no more land…for colonists Who has the rest???

Native Americans Treaties have been signed Borders have been drawn So What!!!!!!!!!! Discontent boils over… Farmers begin to invade Powhatan Lands to the West Group of Susquehannocks are killed Retaliation comes

Cry for War!! VA Governor William Berkeley refuses to authorize a war Farmers are furious at Gov’t In steps… Nathaniel Bacon Led poor farmers, indentured servants, even slaves on a rampage
