The Abbeville Institute has a remarkable documentary that relates how the 1607 Virginia colony had much more impact on the development of our nation than 1620 Puritan Massachusetts. The point is made that Massachusetts’ vision for the federal government ultimately prevailed; although the ethos of Virginia is more quintessentially American and is widely reflected in both law and culture. As someone who spent seven years of my life in the Old Dominion, I found this interpretation pretty fascinating because it was a wonderful place. Take the time to watch it if you feel moved to do so:
