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.
