CHAPTER 4 1. William Berkeley ? He was the governor of Virginia who governed for 34 years before Bacon threw him out. He disliked having to rule an impoverished country where almost everyone was poor and discontent with their life. He was friendly towards the Indians and even when the Indians attacked the frontier settlements, he let them be. He monopolized the fur trade with the Indians. When Bacon?s Rebellion died when Bacon himself died, Berkeley, having been chased out of Jamestown, came back and hanged more than twenty rebels to show everyone what would happen if they retaliated.
