內(nèi)容簡介:The Virginia Colony, large and wealthy, with citizens like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Patrick Henry, had an enormous influence on events leading up to and during the American Revolution. This title discusses the colony's founding, life on the Tidewater plantations, the struggles to survive, and the desire for independence. Full of period maps; portraits; photographs; and first-person accounts from masters and slaves, explorers, Native Americans, servants, and other residents, this is narrative nonfiction at its best. The eloquent text weaves the historical facts into a colorful tapestry representing the realities of Colonial life. Readers learn that some of the Jamestown colonists resorted to cannibalism during the "Starving Time," that Jefferson and Washington owned slaves, and that tobacco made many Virginians rich. Quotations from primary sources and other documentation add authenticity. Readers will discover that independence was not a universal consideration for all the colonists in Virginia.
