What would have happened if Bacon's Rebellion had succeeded? It only failed because Bacon happened to be killed in a skirmish/scuffle between militia and his men- if that had not happened, he could have gone on to win control of Virginia. Would the king go along with it fait accompli, or would he send troops to put it down? If the latter, would more colonies join on the American side? That could produce an American Revolution 50 years earlier but minus the democracy:(- most revolutions do not succeed in producing functional democracies. This is a question I have not seen anyone discussing and that may be because it is not very widely known about- I would look it up.
