Yes, dissenters did settle in Virginia, particularly during the colonial period. Groups like the Puritans and Quakers, seeking religious freedom and escape from persecution, established communities in the region. While Virginia was primarily Anglican, the presence of dissenters contributed to the religious diversity of the colony and influenced its social and cultural development.
No, Dissenters did not largely settle in the tidewater area of Virginia. Instead, they primarily established communities in areas further inland, such as the Shenandoah Valley and parts of North Carolina. The tidewater region was more dominated by the Anglican Church and wealthier settlers. Dissenters, including Baptists and Presbyterians, sought more religious freedom and often migrated to regions where they could establish their own congregations more freely.
