11 On Bacon’s Rebellion one finds four interpretations, very different in their sympathies. Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker, Torchbearer of the Revolution (Princeton, 1940), sympathizes with Bacon; Wilcomb Washburn, The Governor and the Rebel (Chapel Hill, 1957), is more accurate, and sympathetic to Berkeley; Richard L. Morton, Colonial Virginia (2 vols., Chapel Hill, 1960), and Wesley Frank Craven, The Colonies in Transition, 1660-1713 (New York, 1968), are balanced accounts by southern gentlemen who sympathize with both sides; Morgan, American Slavery, American Freedom, 251-70, is a view from New England, sympathetic to neither side. Yet to be written is a rounded cultural history which might capture the ideals, hopes, and fears that gave rise to this event.
