To add to these causes of discontent the Indians now attacked the settlers, and Berkeley seemed to take very little interest in protecting the Virginians.

Led by Nathaniel Bacon the colonists marched to Jamestown and demanded authority to go against the Indians.

Berkeley gave Bacon a commission.
But, as soon as Bacon left Jamestown on his expedition, Berkeley declared that he was a rebel.

Bacon returned, and Berkeley fled.

Bacon marched against the Indians again, and Berkeley came back, and so the rebellion went on until Bacon died.
