Justifications,
Bacon
Bacon was a wealthy Englishman who believed that Native Americans were dangerous enemies, not peaceful friends He beleived that they must be killed to protect the colony
and the violent acts by the Native Americans before the rebellion
The Indians, however, became exceedingly more hostile after Bacon started attacking.
The Indians retaliated by killing colonists, setting traps, and even capturing the colonists
Government
Bacon’s Rebellion was caused by corruption in the Virginian government and mistrust between the native tribes.
However, William Berkeley, the governor of the colony, had a different view towards the Native Americans.
Natives
Native Americans wanted peace with the colonists most of the time.
Eventually, most of the settlers hated keeping the peace with, what they saw as. the savage people, and were not given the respect or shown respect from the government they thought they had deserved as the established people of Jamestown.
