The many lives of Nathaniel Bacon | Society for US Intellectual HistoryNathaniel Bacon, 1647-1676 This apparently is not Nathaniel Bacon the rebel. Sorry for the mistake. One of the most powerful insights Edmund Morgan offered us over his long and illustrious career was that Bacon's Rebellion, its context, and its aftermath provide an early roadmap for the history of race relations and its intersection with class politics in American history.(1) Unfolding a story of opportunities lost, Morgan suggested that Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 marked a turning point in the history of slavery in Virginia and the southern colonies more broadly. Up till then slavery was not yet the central institution it would later be, as both indentured servants and slaves formed the underclass of early Virginia. In the wake of Bacon's Rebellion, instead of forming a cross-racial alliance that would challenge the rule of the gentlemen class, white men struck a faustian bargain across class lines on the backs of black folks, defining freedom as a white person's privilege and slavery

Did you know that Bacon's Rebellion actually started over an argument over...

A PIG?

YEAH, A PIG!!!

Fritch also had this hunch that something else was going on around 1675-1676, since both Bacon's Rebellion and an earlier uprising that predated the Pueblo Revolt both occurred around the same time.

...so, he looked to the skies and saw an omen,

...the Omens of 1675!
