MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 30, 1676: Nathaniel Bacon issued the "Declaration of the People of Virginia," beginning Bacon's Rebellion, an armed insurrection against the rule of Governor William Berkeley. It was the first insurrection in the American colonies and the first class uprising in North America. Thousands of indentured white Europeans united with free, indentured, and enslaved black people to demand rights and privileges they were being denied. They took up arms and drove Berkeley from Jamestown, burning the colonial capital to the ground. It took several years for the authorities to put down all the pockets of resistance. Bacon died of dysentery. However, Berkeley executed 23 of his followers. King Charles, disillusioned with Berkeley’s rule, recalled him to England. The king said "That old fool has put to death more people in that naked country than I did here for the murder of my father."</p><p>The unification of poor blacks and whites scared the hell out of the ruling class. Consequently, they realized they needed to sow divisions between the poor, so they would fight among each other rather than unify in another uprising against the rich. This led to a hardening of the color lines and the development of the ideas of race and racial superiority. The ruling elite used the uprising to justify passage of the Virginia slave code of 1705 and many of the first laws that distinguished between black and white people. They shifted from their reliance on indentured white servitude to chattel slavery, and bestowed new status and privileges on poor and formerly indentured whites. Further, they used the uprising, and Bacon’s own hatred of Native Americans, to unify all white farmers, large and small, against the Indigenous peoples.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/insurrection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insurrection</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uprising</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/baconsrebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>baconsrebellion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/race" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>race</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slavery</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/whitesupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whitesupremacy</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 17, 1794: The biggest rebel victory of the Whiskey Rebellion occurred on this date when a mob of 500 armed men, protesting a new excise tax on distilleries, clashed with troops from Fort Pitt after firing on a revenue collector and burning down his home. Many of the rebels were poor farmers, who made spirits with their excess grain, and war veterans, who believed they were still fighting against taxation without representation.</p><p>Within weeks, 13,000 uniformed militiamen were sent in to quash the rebellion, including Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton (whose buddies in the rum business were the major benefactors of the tax). Most of the rebels gave up and went home before the soldiers arrived. However, they did arrest 20 men, but most were acquitted due to mistaken identity. Only two men were convicted and sentenced to hang. However, Washington pardoned them. Furthermore, the authorities were unable to collect taxes on many of the distilleries in eastern Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania.</p><p>Nevertheless, Washington’s response was seen as successful because he demonstrated that the national government had both the will and ability to suppress popular resistance to its laws. Furthermore, it set a precedent for what types of protest the new government would tolerate. The rebels had believed the American Revolution had established the people as sovereign, with the right to change the government by force. In contrast, the Federalists in the government believed that the government was sovereign because it had been established with the consent of the people.</p><p>Susanna Rowson wrote a play called “The Volunteers” (1795) in which the militiamen were the heroes of the Whiskey Rebellion. She was also an early advocate for women’s education and an abolitionist. Her novel “Charlotte Temple” was the most popular American novel until Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s cabin.” L. Neil Smith wrote an alternative historical fiction novel, “The Probability Broach,” (1980) in which the rebels win and execute Washington for treason.
