My Thesis/OUTLINE

Duly noted (or whatevaaa) i understand i need to redo this outline ASAP
i need some extra help & clarification


Mental Vomit: Was it only Bacon's fault for the Rebellion? Although the Rebellion was started by one man, this is a conflict that affected anyone and everyone. The governor is there for his' people. He is suppose to be there to make the colony better. Instead, he stood up for the "enemy"; the Native Americans. They were killing the the colonists of Virginia, harmful in several ways. Governor Berkeley did not take any action against this.

Hypothesis : Who is at fault for Bacon's rebellion?

Thesis: The government is at fault for Bacon's Rebellion, not Nathaniel Bacon

BODY:
IV. Who's fault is Bacon's rebellion
- ((article support))Bacon was mad b/c Indians killing colonists
-Bacon reported to G. Berk what was happening
-Bacon's complaint was not the first -- very important
-G. Berk ignored Bacon's complaint (as well as everyone else's)
-Made Bacon furious b/c Indians getting away w/murder, isn't right
-although [argumentative] that colonist were killing Indians as well.
-Because Indians and colonist were killing each other, this would have to be solved eventually
-G. Berk ignored Bacon's complains (as well as everyone else') --->
-Set Bacon off and he took the major issues into his own hands
-Basically this is a review of the summary of Bacon's rebellion
I will elaborate on certain points such as Bacon complaining to the governor as well as many other people complaining about the Indians killing their fellow colonists.
--I also need to stress the fact that G. Berk chose to ignore the complaints, chose to befriend the natives. when he should have been standing up for his people; his colony.
-Trade w/ Natives was not worth G. Berk's colonists dying.
-Bacon felt like it was the right thing to do-- to fight the Natives himself since his leader selfishly chose to let it go by.
-Bacon's rebellion was not necessarily his fault. He had many, many followers that appreciated him stepping up to the plate because the governor simply let them down
--there is many situations that are significant to Bacon's rebellion. The world goes on and sometimes actions going on are wrong. For there to be change for the right thing, takes effort. It takes getting out of that comfort zone, to push until justified.
-That's exactly what Bacon did, he pushed, he pulled, and he made a dent in history.
