	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Virginia
		Virginia, as far back as 1778, with other states, introduced in congress a bill for the abolition of slavery, which was defeated by the New England states, which made money by importing slaves to be sold to the South, and by the cotton states, desirous of negro service for the plantations.
		Her former prestige gone, many of her best sons killed, or maimed, in war, families broken up and scattered, agriculture and industries paralyzed, burdened with debt, the negro problem to handle, and part of her territory formed into another state, the prospects of Virginia after the war were gloomy in the extreme.

		Marco Antonio explicou que VirgÃÂnia Woolf acreditava na atemporalidade da vida, como as ondas, seus livros refletem muito essa atemporalidade.
		Embora a caracterizaÃÂ§ÃÂ£o estÃÂ©stica de VirgÃÂnia Woolf esteja muito boa em As Horas, todas as outras caracterizaÃÂ§ÃÂµes sÃÂ£o altamente preconceituosas e desrespeitosas.
		VirgÃÂnia Woolf era uma mulher que rompia com seu tempo, jÃÂ¡ que nÃÂ£o teve filhos, casou com um editor, mas fizeram uma mulher arrogante, chata, amarga, quando na verdade ela era uma mulher deslocada do seu tempo, intelectual.

	World Wide Woolf, Brenda Silver
		The most extensive "plate" on Virginia Woolf (1997), which includes three photographs of the player, informs us that she is not only "another icon of the modern and postmodern belief that madness and art are inextricably linked," but that she "remains a potent figure today.
		To put this another way, if Virginia Woolf has the star quality that motivates her fans to make her an icon on the web, her appearances can also be read as embodiments of the medium itself.
		Here, we discover, Virginia Woolf was an active player (second base, infield/outfield) from 1985 to 1997 (there are contradictory lists), playing for the Bohemians and the Vestal Virgins until she had a fight with Virgins manager Erica Jong and was transferred to the Paradise Pisces.

	A Brief History of Jamestown, Virginia
		But there was no gold in Virginia, and these "prospectors" didn't know how to farm, didn't know how to hunt, and--possibly feeling betrayed by the Virginia Company's promises, and lacking any land of their own--were not known for their spirit of cooperation either among themselves, nor with the local Indians of the Powhatan confederacy.
		Raleigh was on difficult terms with James; a favorite of Elizabeth I, he had tried 3 times in the 1580s to establish a permanent English settlement in Virginia (the last had been the especially ill-fated "Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island), and had named the state itself for the Virgin Queen.
