The history of America is closely tied to that of Virginia, particularly during
the Colonial period. Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first permanent English
settlement in North America and slavery was introduced there in 1619. The surrenders
ending both the American Revolution (Yorktown) and the Civil War (Appomattox)
occurred in Virginia. The state is called the “Mother of Presidents”
because eight U.S. presidents were born there.
