	Nathaniel Bacon
		The Virginians were dissatisfied with the measures taken by Governor Berkeley for defense against the Indians, and chose Bacon, on the outbreak of a fresh Indian war, to lead the colonial military forces.
		He was captured and tried before the governor and council on 10 June when he was acquitted, restored to his seat in the council, and promised a commission as general for the Indian' war.
		Bacon died before carrying out his plans for attacking the governor at Accomac, and Ingrain, who succeeded in the command of the colonial forces, was won over by the governor, and, after the execution of a number of Bacon's principal adherents, the rebellion was extinguished.
