	Fitzhugh Family Portraits - Virginia's Colonial Dynasties
		The colonial history of Stafford and King George counties—and thus of northern Virginia—is inseparable from that of the large and powerful Fitzhugh dynasty, which emerged in that region at the end of the seventeenth century.
		He saw such role-playing and the establishment of a family dynasty as essential to the economic stability of his extensive plantation operations.
		Because of the homogeneity of the group, its size, and the prominence of the family, the Fitzhugh portraits are important icons of early American history.

	Virginia, state, United States. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The coastal plain or tidewater region of E Virginia, generally flat and partly swampy, is cut by four great tidal rivers—the Potomac (forming most of the border with Maryland and beyond which also lies Washington, D.C.), the Rappahannock, the York, and the James—all of which empty into Chesapeake Bay.
		Along with Massachusetts, Virginia was a leader in the movement that culminated in the American Revolution although, despite the burning oratory of Patrick Henry and the enlightened political writings of Thomas Jefferson and other brilliant native spokesmen, Virginia was never as politically discontent or radical as Massachusetts.
		The Virginia leaders proposed (May, 1774) a congress of all the colonies, delegates were chosen at the First Virginia Convention (Aug.), and in September Virginia’s Peyton Randolph was elected president of the First Continental Congress.

	James Madison
		Two years later he was elected to the Virginia convention that voted for independence and that drafted a constitution for the new state.
		Three years in the Virginia legislature, 1784 to 1786, convinced him that the Articles of Confederation were too weak to bind the states together in the face of domestic and foreign threats.
		The Virginia resolutions asserted with truth that, in adopting the Federal constitution, the states had surrendered only a limited portion of their powers; and went on to declare that, whenever the Federal government should exceed its constitutional authority, it was the business of the state governments to interfere and pronounce such action unconstitutional.

	Virginia's History
		Though the fundamental cause of unrest in Virginia was economic and brought about by dire distress of the small farmers, liberty-loving Anglo-Saxons were holding responsible for their plight the arrogant rule of the governor, who they believed had deprived them of the freeman's right to petition for redress.
		The essential history of Virginia from 1690 to 1776 is a record of the economic and territorial expansion of a maturing colony.
		Meanwhile the Fourth Virginia Convention passed scathing resolutions condemning Lord Dunmore and announcing that the people of Virginia were ready to protect themselves 'against every species of despotism.' In November the ex-governor had declared the colony to be in revolt and had proclaimed all slaves in Virginia free.

	Population: Geography of Virginia
		Virginia was settled from the west walking up river valleys from what we now call the Missisippi by the "Indians," long before there were kings or queens in England...
		The "Virginia Dynasty" dominated the national political life for the first 35 years of the United States, until President James Monroe's second term ended in 1824.

	Thomas Lee
		Governor William Gooch of Virginia was convinced that the fire had been set by "a pernicious crew of transported felons," whom Thomas Lee had antagonized in his role as Justice of the Peace.
		Virginia was in the midst of a severe depression, which lasted from 1725 to 1734.
		His experience as Virginia agent for the Northern Neck Proprietary had made him familiar with the large tracts of undeveloped land in the colony and his own profitable acquisitions undoubtedly increased the appeal of the project.

	Virginia
		A tour of Virginia's "Historic Triangle" brings us up to the time of the American Revolution: Jamestown, the first permanent English colonial settlement in America; Colonial Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1779; and Yorktown, the site of the British surrender in 1781.
		Virginia has lots of military facilities, and lots of government contractors, such as the shipyards at Newport News, where aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are built in addition to cruise liners.
		Tobacco, the foundation of Virginia's early wealth, is still a major cash crop, but it does not dominate as it once did -- tourism, manufacturing, fishing, and communications all play significant roles in Virginia's diversified economy.

	VALib v50n3 - Virginia Reviews
		The history of the Virginia colony sometimes leaves one with the impression that the establishment of the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown was an isolated event.
		That alteration in the nature of the agricultural workforce was the most important change in the colony during those decades, and it had ripple effects that changed nearly everything else, from laws to social customs, from relations between the races to the dynamics of the class structure.

		Monroe, able political heir of Jefferson and Madison and last of the Virginia dynasty (1801-25), held office at a time when the Democratic-Republicans reigned supreme over the weak Federalists and was overwhelmingly elected to a second term.
		Yet the Panic of 1819 and the intersectional strife preceding the Missouri Compromise (1820) dashed the original hopes for an "Era of Good Feelings." The highlight of his administration was promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine.
		He managed his estate, became a regent of the University of Virginia, served as cochairman of the State constitutional convention of 1829-30, acted as local magistrate, and even considered running again for Governor.
