he promised to keep the settlers from moving into their lands
Bacon and his wife describe Governor William Berkeley's relationship with Native Americans as overly conciliatory and accommodating. They believe he prioritizes trade and peace with the Native tribes at the expense of the safety and interests of the colonists. This perspective reflects their frustration with Berkeley's policies, which they see as neglecting the settlers' needs for protection against Native American attacks. Overall, they view his approach as detrimental to the colony's stability and security.
he treated the native Americans as equals.
Virginia Governor William Berkeley sought to prevent an outbreak of war with Native Americans by promoting trade and diplomatic relations rather than conflict. He aimed to establish peaceful interactions, encourage alliances, and maintain stability on the frontier through agreements and negotiations. Berkeley's approach was to limit land encroachments and manage settlers' expansion to reduce tensions, although this strategy ultimately faced challenges from colonists eager for land. His policies reflected a desire for coexistence but were often undermined by settlers' ambitions.
Bacon's Rebellion was a rebellion of freed former indentured white servants in 1676 led by Nathaniel Bacon. They did not have land, and so were pushed into the untamed countryside to find land. Virginia's governor at the time, William Berkeley, had friendly policies towards the Native Americans. The freed men were angry over the governor's refusal to retaliate Native American attacks on the frontier settlements, and attacked the Native Americans themselves before burning the capitol of Virginia and chasing Berkeley away. Bacon died suddenly of disease, and the rebellion fell apart, with over 20 rebels being hanged by Berkeley.

The Native Americans were promised protection against the 'Americans' but the British couldn't keep that promise because, as you probably know, we were beaten and were 'kicked out' of the country.
