Episode Details

This week I am talking about the Bacon Rebellion. Nathaniel Bacon, a Virginia planter focused on unlimited expansion, would go on to lead the first popular revolt in the colonies. The rebellion itself was short, but in this episode I talk about who Bacon was and why his revolt is viewed as important in American History.
