Brief Political History of Virginia

[@nicolasnamed]

I was born in Maryland but have lived the majority of my life now in Virginia, and even as an avid history learner this video has taught me so many new things. We NEVER learned in history classes that the Spanish came to Virginia! Thank you for this video about my home state.
(Btw found your channel through your "History of Jamaica" video 😊)

Thank you for the kind words. The Spanish in general are pretty much erased from American history (as are the French, although to a lesser extent), but the English at the time were very much aware.

I’m 31 and have lived in Virginia my entire life. We never were taught that either. I’m sure it was on someone’s agenda.

You could've mentioned Joe Santopietro from Waterbury in the corrupt politicians segment. We had a real bunch of clowns running the good old Brass City.
