If you want to discover the captivating history of Virginia, then keep reading...

From being the home of some of the first people in America to being the birthplace of the United States, Virginia has had an incredibly rich and interesting history even before its inauguration as a state. Virginia was once the most populous and affluent state in the country and the birthplace of many of the most important figures in early United States’ history. Yet, despite Virginia’s successes and great heritage, it has, for much of history, been a divided state that has found itself debating even the most basic rights and issues. This, of course, is no more obvious than the splitting of Virginia into Virginia and West Virginia in the years following the American Civil War.

For all the generational Virginians who take pride in every aspect of their state’s legacy, there are newcomers who arrive to work for the Pentagon, the CIA, and the other important government and military hubs in Virginia who do not look so fondly on Virginia’s history. Yet, regardless of how right or politically correct Virginia’s history may appear, it is incredibly interesting for all those wondering how this southern US state became the way it is today.

In this book, you will discover:
  • Virginia’s first people and their complex cultural, social, economic, spiritual and political systems and traditions
  • The colonization of America and the United States’ first settlement in Jamestown, Virginia
  • Interactions between the state’s first settlement and first people
  • Virginia’s culture under colonial rule
  • Virginia’s journey towards developing its own culture, economy and political system, separate from that of England, mostly surrounding the culture of tobacco farming
  • The state’s involvement in the American Revolution and the years post war
  • Virginia’s involvement in the American Civil War and the effects of the war on the state
  • The state’s many social movements
  • Virginia’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars and the effects of the war on the state and country
  • Virginia’s development in the 20th century into the military hub of America

When you Pocahontas was basically what I saw in the Disney movies so it was good to read this book and see and learn the real history of America and Virginia including Powhatan historical events. It would be great if people understood the history from the past because I think it will make it easier for us to your stand each other knowing that there was a time that white woman African and Native American depending on the white man in order for them to be able do anything for them to survive. So it’s good to know we should work together and not against each other

I’m a history buff & Thomas Jefferson fanboy. As a recent resident of Virginia, I like to pick up information of the history when I can, this is a really nice overview.

It’s not a college textbook, it’s not intended to be. It’s more of an overview of key moments in Virginia history & how those events formed the state. If you’re looking for a thesis you’ll be disappointed but if you’re looking for an easy, informative read, this is thh tu e book to go with.

The history of Virginia began in the 1500s when visited by Spanish Explorers. The occupants at that time were tribes of Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan peoples in the late 16th century, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth 1st named the area – Virginia in honor of the Virgin Queen.

The structure and grammar suggest the text may have spoken into a computer and not been read by an editor. The section on the American Revolution omits the the House of Burgess in Williamsburg, discusses the Battle of Bunker Hill and omits the Battle of Virginia Capes which kept the Royal Navy from evacuation Cornwallis from Yorktown.
