damage and huge military expenditures

EQ#6-What are the important facts for the King Philip's
War and Bacon's Rebellion Assessment?
EA#4-The relationship between the Native Americans and the
English colonists changed in Jamestown in three phases:
early-Colonists and Native Americans traded and were peaceful to
one another; they avoided conflict.
middle-The conflicts over land increased.
later-A civil war started because the colonists considered all Native
Americans to be hostile.
EA#5a-The causes of Bacon's Rebellion were land demands rise
from colonists, rising population of Jamestown increases demand for
land, indentured servants that become free need land-keep pushing
further into frontier, economic problems, colonists want protection
from Indians, and white settlers want to have permission to take up
arms and kill Indians. The effects of Bacon's Rebellion were labor
supply replaced with slave labor, Bacon charged with treason by
Governor Berkeley, people learned the power of the people to rebel,
large loss of life, especially Native Americans, Berkeley hanged the
major leaders, Berkeley seized property without trials, and Berkeley
was replaced due to his questionable decisions.
EA#5b-The important primary source documents regarding Bacon's
Rebellion are the map of Jamestown which shows where the areas of
conflict took place, the petitions sent to Governor Berkeley which
gave colonists complaints, specifics examples of problems and
demanded actions, and Governor Berkeley's Declaration which
stated that Bacon had committed treason-the crime of fighting
against the government.
