Virginia after Bacon's rebellion.
The Virginians were now handed over to a set of greedy governors.
Some of them came to America to make their fortunes, but some of them were governors whom the people of other colonies would not have.
The only event of importance in the history of the colony during the next 25 years was the founding of William and Mary College, 1691, at Williamsburg.
It was the second oldest college in the English colonies.

King Philip's War, 1675-76
It was not only in Virginia and Maryland that the Indians were restless at this time.
In New England, they also attacked the whites.
They were led by Massasoit's son, King Philip, an able and far-seeing man.
He saw with dismay how rapidly the whites were driving the Indians away from their hunting grounds.
The Indians burned the English villages on the frontier and killed hundreds of the settlers.
The strongest chief to join Philip was Cannonchette of the Narragansetts.
The colonial soldiers stormed his fort and killed a thousand Indian warriors.
Before long, King Philip himself was killed, and the war slowly came to an end.
78, William Penn.
Among the greatest Englishmen of that time was William Penn.
He was a Quaker and was also a friend of Charles II and James, Duke of York.
He wished to found a colony in which he and the Quakers could work out their ideas in religious and civil matters.
