The chaotic struggle between Indians and Colonist consist of power domination.
I. The power between colonist, Indians, and upper class government was the central issue of Bacon’s Rebellion.
---A. William Berkeley (upper class) served two years as governor over Virginia. Where he attempted to maintain peace with the Indians and acquired the reputation of being “stern and selfish”. http://www.newrivernotes.com/
----b. Paraphrase the source. “He was now-grown old in years and sadly changed in character-serving a third term; reigning, one ‘night almost say. Stern and selfish as he became, bending his will only to the wishes of the young wife”. This quote is a statement of how changed Berkeley had become in age and years.
2. Nathanael Bacon led a Rebellion in 1676, which led to the division of Colonist and the promotion of Bacon. “Bacon’s rebellion was the result of the discontent among indentured servants and poor farmers due to corruption in the government”. http://www.nndb.com/
------a. “They elected Bacon to the colonial government, called the House Burgesses”. A young people’s history of the Unites States
--------b. Paraphrase the source. The quote that conveys about lower class and indentured servants, is talking about what might have caused the colonists to join the Rebellion. The second quote is about what position Bacon attained later on. I think what promoted Bacon was power and self gain; this level of authority gives Bacon what he wants.
3. The colonists of New England were mostly indentured servants or lower-class citizens. They experienced high paying taxes, land needs, fear of Indians, and a corrupt government.
4. Indians lived and dominated the new Land first. They by right could have forcefully pushed new Englanders away, but instead most of the Indians made peace (Or a least tried to).
-----a. One of the Indian tribes that were on a back and forth peace would be the Susquehannocks Indians. They killed colonist in way of revenge, and animosity they built up towards the Englanders. “The susquehannocks were an exceedingly fierce tribe of Indians but were, just then, at peace with the English settlers”.
-------b. Paraphrase the source. The part in the quote that says “just then, at peace with the English settlers”. I think that is key because it’s stating that there were certain times when the Indians were at peace and maybe at war with them.
