During Bacon's Rebellion, who would the plantation/slave owners side with?

Nathanial Bacon led the indentured servents against the plantation owners. Since the indentured servents were the ones working their s off for them, and then were thrown out into the real world with no land or means of support, they were pissed. They moved West, which started the stereotype that's mostly true that all of the money in the United States is along the East Coast. Plantation owners were against Bacon because he was trying to take their land, rights, and money away. Natives didn't much live in that area during the time of Bacon's rebellion. They had been all but exterminated. They lived further out West, where the indentured servents had to try and live. That was another reason for their upset.
