Answer

C
groups that united against the government were ineffective.
D

Explanation

Bacon’s Rebellion in Virginia in 1676 involved frontier settlers, including both indentured servants and enslaved people, rising against the colonial government. After the rebellion, wealthy planters increasingly relied on enslaved Africans rather than indentured servants, partly because slavery provided a more controllable and permanent labor force. This shift helped slavery expand; it did not mean indentured servitude ended immediately. The best choice is “indentured servitude ended and slavery developed.”
