10 Indigo was used as a dye in ancient Rome and Egypt, but it did not become popular in Europe until the 1500s. Even though plantations in the colonies produced Indigo, the process used to extract Indigo dye was time-consuming and costly. As a result, the dye was a precious commodity. In the late 1800s, Adolph von Baeyer studied the chemical structure of indigo. His work resulted in the development of a synthetic indigo dye that is used today.

41 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the answer. What situation led to Bacon’s Rebellion? The refusal of Governor Berkeley to use military action against the Native Americans led to the conflict. Backcountry farmers wanted government support against the Native Americans, whose land they wanted. Bacon and a group of backcountry settlers organized their own militia to fight the Native Americans. Later, he seized power from the governor and battled for control of Jamestown. Bacon’s Rebellion (cont.) (pages 87–89)

42 Why It Matters An agricultural society developed in the American colonies. In the South, a large number of Africans were enslaved for plantation labor. In the North, commerce took hold, and England’s trade policies proved cause for concern. High birth rates and immigration expanded the population as American society began to take shape.
