Great Bacon’s Rebellion Video

Here’s a great video that covers the basics of Bacon’s Rebellion. I have found that Bacon’s Rebellion is one of those historical events that typically gets sacrificed because of lack of time. It is important to know that the rebellion led to a larger dependence on slave labor in the colonies (rather than indentured servants).

This video also has review questions in the video description if you need them.

Also, here’s an interesting tidbit…it was recorded that Bacon died of the “Bloodie Flux” (dysentery) and “Lousey Disease” (body lice). His death inspired a little saying:

“Bacon is Dead I am sorry at my hart That lice and flux should take the hangman’s part.”
