Bacon's Rebellion
Bacon's Rebellion happened in 1676 and was a movement led by Nathaniel Bacon in opposition to William Berkley, which was the governor of their home colony, Virginia. The civil disobedience was started when farmers were upset with the corrupted government and wanted their land and families to be safe from Native attacks. Instead of working with the laws of Virginia they pushed them aside, and tried to overturn government. Some scholars say that the second amendment was derived from this rebellion because the right to bear arms was made more important than ever before this point.

You have good information, but you should probably add more details and maybe add on to your summary. You also might want to add a quote or two. It's a good start though!
-This was kind of short, but you have a really good general idea type of summary for Bacon's Rebellion.
-Probably need to add more quotes about what sources say about Bacon's Rebellion.
-Good paraphrasing toward the end with what scholars say about the second amendment, but overall if needed to be much longer.
1) needs quotes, its a they say article and there's no reference to other sources
2)the template is weak, not recognized, not placed right just needs more foundation or something
3)its a good summery but nto right for the assignment i would say, they end gets into the point of the assignment the reast is just kinda wasted.
It was a little short, but you did a good job summarizing the rebellion, and making it easy to read.
Left out some key points.
You should add quotes, make sure you remember to tell what pages the quotes are on and where they came from.
It is really good, just need to add more info, and make it longer. nice job Haley!
You definitely have a great information with little bias, however it would be nice if you included a bit more into it, also, make sure you are following those templates.
