Virginia

John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, was the last Crown Governor of Virginia before the Revolution, from 1771 to June 1775. He directed a series of campaigns against the Indians in the backcountry of Virginia collectively called "Lord Dunmore's War". Increasing clashes with colonial leaders finally forced Dunmore to leave Williamsburg on June 8, 1775, and take refuge on a British warship, the HMS Fowey, in the York River.

Well after Cecil Calvert got the charter for the king to create his colony he named his brother, Leonard, Governor. On year later though Leonard allowed the colonists to elect an assembly which is a group of elected people who create laws and pass laws in representation of the colony's citizens.

The colonists who came to Jamestown had reasons to starts a colony and baptize Indians, so if they wanted to baptize someone else, then OF COURSE they would be Christians.

P.S They were from Europe, so what religion do you think they were of?

The Indians helped the pilgrims get used to planting in the rich fertile soil when the pilgrims came to America. The Indians trusted the pilgrims and showed them a new food plant,corn. After that happened, the Indians and the pilgrims had Thanksgiving. That is when Thanksgiving Day started.

Farming ( tobacco, peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, poultry, ham)

Mainly farming, fishing and hunting. However, there was some industry even in early Virginia. That included glassblowing at Jamestown, and making pine tar (pitch) from pine trees- used to make wooden ships water tight.

Because in England they were forced to believe in the Anglican faith. The wanted to have religous freedom. Most of them were in the Puritan church which means that the wanted to purify the Anglican church by changing the beliefs to how they were when the faith was first made.

Some successes where the collaboration and knowledge extracted from the native Americans that lived there, and the investment in growing tobacco crops.

Some failures where their inability for the first colonies to have work ethic. a lot of the first colonists were noblemen and had no real work ethic and as the biblical saying goes you reap what you sow or in this case you can't eat what you don't sow. (Ie they were lazy and didn't really make adequate shelter, or try to acquire adequate farming or hunting skills at first.)

The southern and Middle colonies were similar in various ways. One of the common similarities was the economic activities which mainly revolved around farming and agriculture in general.

cash cropping, and stock in the company. For example: tobacco and cotton.

From 1624 until 1750, the colony of Virginia had a law which made it mandatory for colonists to become members of the Church of England. It was much less tolerant of religion than some of the other colonies. Finally, in 1750, other Protestant groups began to call for religious tolerance.

The government leaders of colonial Virginia in the 1600's were England and the Anglican church. The leaders did not change until the late 1700's.

bad weather, disease, starvation, attacks from the indians, not sufficiant housing

According to the results of the 2000 Census, the largest cities in Virginia (by population) are Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Richmond and Arlington, in that order.

Although some New England farmers exported grain and livestock, many could barely feed themselves and their families because the poor soil made farming difficult. New Englanders therefore turned to alternative occupations. For instance, they engaged in trading with the West Indies, and developed fishing, small manufacturing, and shipbuilding industries.

The city served as the capital of the Colony of Virginia from 1699 to 1780 and was the center of political events in Virginia leading to the American Revolution.

It served as the Capital of the Virginia Colony from 1616 until 1698.

The first people to settle in Jamestown were called the Virginia Company. This group was composed of a group of merchants and adventurers who had been granted a charter from King James I of England in 1606. The Virginia Company was led by John Smith and established Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement in America. Most of the original settlers were English gentlemen and their families as well as a variety of skilled craftsmen and laborers.

The original settlers of Jamestown included:

• John Smith
• John Martin
• George Percy
• Edward Maria Wingfield
• John Ratcliffe
• John Martin
• Thomas Gates
• William Strachey
• Edward Maria Wingfield
• John Martin

In addition to the English settlers there were also a number of African Americans Native Americans and indentured servants who were also involved in the settlement of Jamestown.

A few major events are as follows:

*Virginia was the first settlement by the british colonisation (Jamestown)

*Virginia's Jamestown was burned down in a uprising called 'Bacon's Rebellion'

*Virginia is also suffered a secession. basically at the start of the American civil war, some of Virginia disagreed and west Virginia was born.

*Virginia was also the capital state of the confederacy during the American civil war

From the Senators and Representatives of each state.

Each state gets at least 2 because each state has 2 senators.

As for the Representatives, the least are in Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Vermont, Delaware & DC, each have 1 representative (so Alaska gets 2+1, which is 3 electoral votes, as do the other states with 1 representative) and the most is in California (52, plus the 2 senators, makes it 55 electoral votes) followed by Texas (rep+sen=34), New York (rep+sen=31), Florida (rep+sen=27) etc...
