Bacon's Rebellion contributed to which of the following in Virginia?

A) a large and sustained increase in the importation of indentured servants
B) generous payments to Native Americans to encourage them to give up their lands to white farmers
C) changes in the political style of Virginia's powerful large-scale planters, who adopted a get-tough policy with small farmers and hired their own militia to enforce their will
D) the replacing of indentured servants with African slaves on Virginia's plantations
E) an order from Governor Berkeley that Native Americans could serve in the militia

Bacon's Rebellion led to a shift in Virginia from using indentured servants to using African slaves on plantations. The rebellion was fueled in part by the discontent of small farmers, who were unhappy with the governor's friendly policies toward Native Americans and his failure to protect them from Native American attacks. The rebellion was eventually suppressed, but the large-scale planters saw it as a warning that they needed a more reliable labor force than indentured servants, who were expensive to transport and had a tendency to rebel. As a result, they turned increasingly to African slaves who were seen as a more controllable and cost-effective labor force.
