was the Revoulation ever in Vergina? Did Vergina owned slaves?

Question

I'm confused on the subject.

Answer 1

Hello dear!
Which Vergina are you asking about?

Answer 2

An independent commonwealth

Patrick Henry's speech on the Virginia Resolves.In 1780, during the American Revolutionary War, the capital was moved to Richmond at the urging of then-Governor Thomas Jefferson, who was afraid that Williamsburg's location made it vulnerable to a British attack. In the autumn of 1781, American troops trapped the British on the Yorktown peninsula in the famous Battle of Yorktown. This prompted a British surrender on October 19, 1781, formally ending the war and securing the former colonies' independence, even though sporadic fighting continued for two years.

Patrick Henry served as the first Governor of Virginia, from 1776 to 1779, and again from 1784 to 1786. On June 12, 1776, the Virginia Convention adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights written by George Mason, a document that influenced the Bill of Rights added later to the United States Constitution. On June 29, 1776, the convention adopted a constitution that established Virginia as a commonwealth independent of the British Empire. In 1790, both Virginia and Maryland ceded territory to form the new District of Columbia, but in an Act of the U.S. Congress dated July 9, 1846, the area south of the Potomac that had been ceded by Virginia was retroceded to Virginia effective 1847, and is now Arlington County and part of the City of Alexandria.


[edit] American Civil War
Virginia is one of the states that seceded from the Union (on April 17, 1861) and operated independently until it joined the Confederacy during the Civil War when it turned over its military on June 8 and ratified the Constitution of the Confederate States on June 19. When it did, some counties were separated as Kanawha (later renamed West Virginia), an act which was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1870. More battles were fought on Virginia soil than anywhere else in America during the Civil War. The city of Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy during the war. Virginia formally rejoined the Union on January 26, 1870, after a period of post-war military rule.
Virginia is known as the "Mother of Presidents", because it is the birthplace of eight U.S. presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson), more than any other state

Answer 3

The American Revolution's final battle was fought in Virginia called the battle of "Yorktown." French General Lafayette and a French navy admiral managed to trap Briitish General Cornwallis and forced him to surrender. Soon after, the English gave up hopes in winning the revolutionary war. Yes is the answer to the second part of your question. The first few U.S. Presidents were from Virginia, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and they all owned slaves.

Answer 4

Slaves still exist today. Slavery exists in many forms. Soon to be more if the immigration gates are opened. And yes Virginia was involved. You seem to be confusing the Revolutionary War with the Civil War.
