Bacon's Revolution

What started off as a small rebellion lead by Nathaniel Bacon would lead to widespread unrest in the 13 colonies. With the death of Governor William Berkeley and the uprising of slaves and commoner spreading to other states, Britain is driven out of the colonies by 1677 and the Federation of American Provinces is formed, and this is where the scenario begins.

Points of Divergence

 * Nathaniel Bacon does not die of dysentery in 1676 and continues Bacon's Rebellion against the arriving British troops.
 * Rather than focusing on attacking Native American tribes, Nathaniel Bacon focuses his troops on Governor William Berkeley and securing the Virginia Colony. This ultimately leads to a more feasible strategy and the rebellion making less enemies.
 * After the fall of Virginia's colonial government, a series of uprisings and revolts occur throughout the other 12 colonies against British Rule, leading the event to be known as "Bacon's Revolution"
