Project Gutenberg 2017-11-22 Public domain in the USA. 444 Fiske, John 1842 1901 Fisk, John Green, Edmund Fisk Old Virginia and Her Neighbours, Vol. 2 (of 2) Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Wayne Hammond and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Old Virginia and Her Neighbours, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by John Fiske is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the development of Virginia and its surrounding regions, focusing on significant events, societal shifts, and the influence of various groups, particularly the Cavaliers and their impact on the colony's growth. Through detailed analysis, Fiske unveils how Virginia's distinct social and political characteristics emerged, contrasting them with those of other colonies, especially New England. At the start of the work, Fiske lays the groundwork for understanding Virginia's environment and its appeal to settlers in the 17th century, notably during the coming of the Cavaliers after the execution of Charles I. He describes Virginia's resources, such as abundant agriculture and livestock, showcasing how it fostered a thriving community. Fiske also highlights misconceptions about the social structures of Virginia, particularly the distinctions between the Cavaliers and Roundheads, and discusses the demographic shifts influenced by immigration patterns. The opening thus sets a comprehensive stage for examining how these factors contributed to the shaping of Virginia's identity during a transformative period in American history.
