71. Bacon's rebellion has been the subject of much debate since the publication of Thomas J. Wertenbaker's Torchbearer of the Revolution. The Story of Bacon's Rebellion and its Leader (Princeton, 1940). The arguments of Wertenbaker in favour of Bacon's `democratic' credentials were contested by Wilcomb Washburn in The Governor and the Rebel, which makes the case for Governor Berkeley. More recently, Stephen Saunders Webb has retold the story in the spirit of Wertenbaker in Book 1 of his 1676. See also for the background and motivations of Bacon and his followers Wesley Frank Craven, The Southern Colonies in the Seventeenth Century (Baton Rouge, LA, 1949), ch. 10, which rightly emphasizes the complexity of the story; Bernard Bailyn, `Politics and Social Structure in Virginia', in James Morton Smith, Seventeenth-Century America.
