I think that Bacon was doing what he thought was right for the por colonist unprotected from Nativeattacks.#mrkulo

Bacon did not need to us his "hero" status to rebel and destroy the colony by burning it down. #mrkulo

I feel that both Bacon and Berkley had both unjust and just aspects. Berkley should have helped out the citizensof Jamestown #mrkulo

09-Sep-09 00:01 | Jdizzelz

but Berkeley should have represented the poor colonists and defended them against the native americans.#mrkulo

Bacon's actions were out of control and he needed to be stopped. #mrkulo

Governor Berkeley was justified in his actions during Bacons's Rebellion. #mrkulo

08-Sep-09 01:23 | CaptainWoodward

I think Bacon had good intentions by going to the Governor first and going against his say. He helped a lot of thecolonists out. #mrkulo

I think that Bacon shouldn't have killed the Indians that were friendly to the colonists. #mrkulo

08-Sep-09 00:14 | MoniqueAlyse

I think berkeley was just trying to do what he could to keep the colony in order, but failed. #mrkulo

@gregkuloweic

Bacon should not have led an attack on the indians when he was told not to by the governer of jamestown.07-Sep-09 23:51 | killam_all

I don't understand why Berkeley taxed the poor so much and why he felt the need to only pay attention to theplantation farmers. #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 23:23 | streco

Regardless of his position in the gov't, it doesn't make it okay to only provide funding for the rich. The poordeserved help too. #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 23:22 | streco

Bacon made the situation worse by attacking the indians and turning on his allies. #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 22:45 | SMReynolds81

Berkeley's actions were completely justified, Berkeley cant protect everyone from the indians. Bacon was the onewho overreacted. #mrkulo

@streco how can neither man be justified? Gov. Berk. is the gov't. He had the legal authority to use the taxmoney as he saw fit. #mrkulo


Wasn't it Berkeley's responsibility to maintain order, regardless of what a fringe number of farmers thought abouttax money? #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 18:04 | gregkulowiec

Neither man was justified. Berkeley refusing to assist people in need is just as bad as Bacon creating an army tofight the Natives. #mrkulo

#mrkulo They should have used the gov tax money to make a second small settlement so they didnt cause aproblem with the Natives out west.

07-Sep-09 15:49 | Rmac34

Try to include a short reason for your view point...#mrkulo


Anyone consider the implications of the tax $ not being used to support the colonists living out west that neededgov. support? #mrkulo


@acshean11, I agree aswell. Bacon's actions were hostile and resulted in unessary death, he should not be seenas a hero in any way.#mrkulo

07-Sep-09 01:27 | asgleason08

I feel that both Nathaniel Bacon and Gov. Berkeley were unjust. #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 01:24 | asgleason08

I think Nathaniel Bacon was justified because he created an independent campaign #mrkulo

07-Sep-09 00:47 | acshean11

@Jiynxie I agree, Bacon had no right to do anything horrible to the Native Americans. Especially when one tribewas an alliance #mrkulo

Berkeley should have helped out the poor farmers, and Bacon shouldn't have set Jamestown on fire. #mrkulo

i think that both Berkeley and Bacon's actions were unjust. #mrkulo

06-Sep-09 20:24 | milofl

Bacon had absolutly no right to do what he did. No right to capture, tourture, and kill all those native americans.#mrkulo

05-Sep-09 21:48 | Jiynxie

I think that Bacon could have handled things with the native americans so much better #mrkulo

#mrkulo i think bacon should of went upon things differntly with the native americans

I think the Declaration of the People of Virginia that Bacon issued demading all Indians in the area be killed wasuncalled for. #mrkulo

05-Sep-09 15:41 | chelsear30

I think Berkeley should have called for a new election of the Burgess about the indain problem before killingwomen and children. #mrkulo
