    The correct answer is A. Former indentured servants wanted more opportunities to expand their territory

    Explanation:

    In U. S. history, Bacon's Rebellion refers to a rebellion led by Nathaniel Bacon in 1676 in Virginia. The purpose of this rebellion was to oppose William Berkeley who was the governor of this territory and had not taken a position towards previous attacks from Native Americans to a colonist in Virginia and besides this, had refused to support colonists to attack Native Americans and get their territory as colonist aimed at expanding the territory. Additionally, most of those who revolted were former indentured servants which means they had worked for years against their will, but after their indenture had expired they wanted to get a better position and expand or get territory. Considering this, it can be concluded the primary cause of Bacon's Rebellion was that former indentured servants wanted more opportunities to expand their territory which led to a rebellion as the Governor did not support this.
