Answer explanation

"Which of the following" meaning its possible there is more than one.

Many of the rebels in Bacon's Rebellion were poor former indentured servants who were forced to live on the edges of society near the Native Americans where they were frequently attached. While the poor wanted greater protection from the Native Americans the wealthy elites refused to attack or destroy the Natives because they had strong trade relations with them. 

After the rebellion the government of Virginia was more aggressive toward Indians as the rebels had kicked off a conflict with them which saw greater expansion and displacement of Native Americans and the economy shift away from the use of indentured servants toward enslaved African labor.
