Bacon asks the Governor for more soldiers to protect them, but he refuses to send them any. In response, Bacon organizes 300 men and attacked the first Indians they see, which happened to be peaceful, fur trading Indians. Bacon's supporters pressured Governor Berkeley to hold an election for the House of Burgesses. Bacon won the election. While Bacon was away from Jamestown, Berkeley organized an assault against him. Upon his return, Bacon set Jamestown on fire and Governor Berkeley fled. Bacon justified his attack on the Governor by accusing him of stealing money from the colonists. Bacon wrote, "Let us observe the sudden rise of their estates [compared] with the quality in which they first entered this country. Let us consider their sudden advancement. And let us also consider whether any public work for our safety and defense or for the advancement and propagation of trade, liberal arts or sciences is in any way adequate to our vast charge." Soon after his victory against Berkeley, Bacon died. This was one of many rebellions in the south. There were many differences between the New England and Chesapeake Bay governmental systems, but many differences lied in their diverse ways of living.

This greatly affected how the communities functioned. In the New England colonies, the communities were very closely knit. John Winthrop wrote in A Model of Christian Charity that, "we must be knit together in this work as one man," and that, "we must delight in each other, make others" conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body.
