Bacon's Rebellion
The Rebellion started by Nathaniel Bacon was not just an act of defiance, but a trade mark for a revolution and a significant time in history. After Natives has killed his friend, Bacon was furious and wanted revenge for the many common killings natives got away with.Bacon's encounter with Governor Berkeley of Virginia to settle the Natives set off several events.Governor Berkeley did not respond to Bacon as he pleaded, uprising a challenge in Bacon; Rebellion. His rebellion brought together many of the lower class of the Virginia people and with their vote, Bacon was able to join leadership in the House of Burgesses to pursue his fight against the natives and against the Governor. Bacon started strong with success in the government, stating an act of independence to fight the natives. But this was not beneficial for Governor Berkeley because this would cause a war between the colony and the natives, and would weaken Virginia if the colony were to start splitting up. Governor took action and fought to take Bacon out of power until it happened. Although Bacon was removed from the House of Burgess, the damage was already done. Bacon set a trademark in history that was an action closer to fighting for rights, fighting for what one--or many-- believe in.

Although this summary was well written, I think including more direct, "they say" info definitely would benefit to this piece.
Good summary, I would add more quotes to project what "they say" for support and also minor spelling errors. But as far as the content you have, its good.
This was a really good summary, but next time I would suggest to use quotes to back up what you are saying and it will make your essay more credible. Also, your essay could have been even better (not saying it was bad) if you used some templates from the "they say/i say" book. They really are helpful and once you incorporate quotes into this it will be a really great piece of work. Great job!
