//__I.History and State Information™__//


 * //__The history of Virginia is very rich.First the state motto of Virginia is Sic Semper Tyrannis (This always to Tyrants).Second, the state"s nickname is "Old Dominion".Third, it applied for statehood in June 25, 1788 and it was the 10 state to join the Union. Lastly the state flower is the American Dogwood and the state bird is the Northern Cardinal.__//**



//__**Virginia is a great state full of great historic events. First, on May 4, 1607, Jamestown was founded by the "Virginia Company of London, also it was the first successful colony. Second, in 1775 George Washington, a Virginian became a commander in chief of the army. Third, on May 15, 1776 Virginia declared its independence, by adopting new rights, a permanent republican constitution, and good relationships with other states and foreign countries. Fourth, in 1831 there was a furious slave revolt that was lead by Nat Turner, it was counted as won of the most ferocious event in the nations history. Lastly, in 1971 Virginia was the first American state to adopt its one constitution, a constitution is a document that defines and limits the powers of the state government and the rights of the citizens.**

 * //__Virginia has many wonderful and beautiful historic sites. First, I will go to visit Jamestown because it was a beautiful historic place and it stood for almost 400 years + it was burned once! Second, I will go to visit the Virginia Zoo because I like animals and maybe I will meet a new kind of animal. Third, I want to visit Fort Lee the Woman Military/Army base because I want to know more about Woman in the army. Fourth, I want to visit Mount Vernon because in that house lived George Washington. Lastly, I want to visit the spooky "Shenandoah Caverns", because I want to see interesting things in those caverns and because I never was in a cavern!__//**
