Question 9 • *MPS SS221-CR U.S. History S1 2023-24

Which of the following was a consequence of Bacon’s Rebellion?

Answer
A
The rebellion brought about the rise of Governor Berkeley.
B
The rebellion brought about a decline in race-based slavery.
C
The rebellion brought about a decline in indentured servitude.
D
The rebellion brought about the forced removal of American Indians.

Explanation

Bacon’s Rebellion exposed the danger colonial elites saw in a large population of poor former indentured servants joining together in revolt. Afterward, Virginia’s planters increasingly relied on enslaved Africans rather than indentured laborers, contributing to a decline in indentured servitude. This was a shift toward race-based slavery, not a decline in it.
