Nathaniel Bacon led a frontier revolt in 1676 known as Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia. The uprising was driven by discontent among the colonists over issues such as government corruption, lack of protection from Native American attacks, and land disputes. Bacon and his followers attacked Native American tribes and ultimately marched on the colonial capital of Jamestown, highlighting tensions between frontier settlers and the colonial government. The rebellion ended with Bacon's death and resulted in a crackdown on dissent in the colony.
