In this episode of Why Wars Happened History Podcast, we go into the aftermath of Bacon's death and the end of the rebellion! We see how his successor failed to lead the rebels, causing chaos and the eventual defeat by the governor's army.

So, he sends his investigators to figure out what went wrong. Tensions spike between Berkeley and the king's men, setting the stage for more drama.
