re re outline

ii. Background Information: Bacon’s Rebellion was a civil war against the colonist in Virginia and also a war against the Indians lead by a man named Nathaniel Bacon.
iii. Thesis: When it came to leading a group of people, William Berkeley was more politically just than Nathaniel Bacon.
iv. Body:
A.) I will describe the view point of Nathaniel Bacon during the rebellion. Nathaniel describes what he thinks is right and why the government put him in power when he write.
---1. “Now the Governor having placed me here in a place of trust, I thought it my duty to discharge my conscience in it, by introducing a looking after the welfare of the people here, they being poor, few, and in scattered habitations on the Frontiers and remote part of ht country, night these Indians..”(11)

------.a. Using quotes such as these in this paragraph from Bacon, I will break down the quote and also reiterate what he says [they say], analyze and write what my view point is based on my conclusion from the analysis [I say].

B.) I will describe the view point of William Berkeley during the rebellion which was what he thought was politically just at that point in time.

----1.When he says "[I am] defending them from, and destroying great numbers of Indians, without the loss of three men in all the time that war lasted , and in [consideration] of the equal and uncorrupt Justice I had distributed to all men")16).

------a.I will then conclude after analysis of how just or unjust he was when leading a group of people.

C.) I will describe viewpoints from witnesses during the rebellion for whom that supported Nathaniel Bacon and what they thought of him.

1. The supporters of Berkeley and their viewpoints of Bacon and Berkeley
2. The people who didn’t necessarily have a particular viewpoint, but there as witnesses such as the royal commissioners.

v. Discussion: Will state an overall perspective of all the viewpoints; kind of what I’ve gathered as a whole.
