WRITING; FREEDOM, SLAVERY AND BACON'S REBELLION; Due, Sun. May 27Grading system: Plus-Minus Letters 

WRITING ASSIGNMENT

SLAVERY AND FREEDOM AND BACON'S REBELLION,

BASED ON, Taylor "Chesapeake Colonies," Morgan, "The Paradox of Slavery and Freedom," and Menard "From Servitude to Slavery…"

 

According to Taylor and Morgan, Bacon's Rebellion and events surrounding it constitute a major development in American history pointing towards the American Revolution and beyond.

 

This historical significance has to do with a set of complex relationships in late 17th century Virginia between the British and American elites, the average white colonists, slaves and Indians. The end result was the emergence of "freedom" as a central social value. This value seems to have emerged out of a complex relationship to the effects of Bacon's Rebellion and the emergence of slavery.

Explain.

 

Cautionary notes:

The central issue is the effects of Bacon's Rebellion combined with simultaneous transition to slavery.

Edmond Morgan's historical concept of a paradox is crucial part of this issue.

Both Morgan and Taylor are blocking historical explanations that involve "hypocrisy" or "White conspiracy." Keep that in mind in creating a brief characterization of the historical explanation which they are offering.

 

LENGTH: About the equivalent of 2 8½ x 11 pages in length or about 500 words.

DUE: MIDNIGHT, SUNDAY, MAY 27

Preview: ... rofits began to stream in, and many leaders in the colony became rich. As Taylor writes, these new members of the landed gentry were much different than the aristocrats in England at the time. These leaders had inherited most of their wealth over generations and had highly refined tastes, actions and mannerisms. The newly wealthy leaders in Virginia, however were coarse, rude and strict. They had no experience in alleviating the grievances of the lower classes and therefore it was only a matter of time before those grievances built up and bubbled over.                 In 1676, concerns over the colonial governor’s policies towards Native American raids led the colonists to revolt. Nearly a thousand farmers  were angry that the governor would not forcefully stop these raids, and this was the main reason for their uprising. The governor ...
