What differences between Piedmont farmers and tidewater farmers led to bacon's rebellion?

Bacon's Rebellion was fueled by tensions between Piedmont farmers and Tidewater planters due to economic and political disparities. Piedmont farmers, who were often small landholders and faced challenges such as limited access to markets and land, sought greater political representation and protection against Native American attacks. In contrast, Tidewater planters, who were wealthier and held significant political power, prioritized their interests and maintained a more stable social order. This conflict over land, resources, and representation ultimately led to the rebellion in 1676.
