Bacon's Rebellion resulted in the replacement of indentured servants with African slaves on Virginia's plantations. The rebellion saw Nathaniel Bacon, a wealthy planter, organize a group of small farmers and former indentured servants to fight against Governor Berkeley and the wealthy planters who dominated Virginia's economy and politics. One of the main grievances of Bacon's supporters was the lack of available land for small farmers, who had completed their indentured servitude but were unable to acquire their own land. As a result, plantation owners turned to African slaves as a more permanent and controllable source of labor.
