Similarly, you may ask, what was the impact of Bacon's Rebellion?
This actually led to the growth of the slave trade, as they sought a more reliable, controllable, permanent labor source than indentured servants. While Bacon's Rebellion did not meet its goals, it did highlight larger issues that the colonies would have to continue to deal with, such as: class struggles.
Secondly, what were the causes and results of Bacon's Rebellion?
The immediate cause of the rebellion was Governor Berkeley's refusal to retaliate for a series of Native American attacks on frontier settlements. In addition, many colonists wished to attack and claim Native American frontier land westward, but they were denied permission by Gov. Berkeley.
The rebellion he led is commonly thought of as the first armed insurrection by American colonists against Britain and their colonial government. A hundred years before the American Revolution, Bacon and his armed rebels ransacked their colonial capital, threatened its governor and upended Virginia's social order.
