I know what you're thinking. Why'd she pick Virginia? Well, I knew George Washington and other famous presidents were from here. I had a teensy bit done just from that prior knowledge.

Virginia is one of the Southern colonies. It's south of Maryland, and north of the Carolinas.
This report may be about VA, but the Carolinas, North and South, used to be one colony. Then, the were split into two. Pretty crazy huh? And yes, both of them count as their own colony, in case you were wondering.
Some colonies held town meetings. But in the Southern Colonies, there were county governments. The governors would appoint county officials, giving them more power.
It isn't too specific on much of the government, but here's what I found in my textbook.
Besides Virginia, there were 12 other colonies. Can you spot Virginia?
If you see Maine, Colonial Maine was even more of Massachusetts. Not the entire states were there either. That's because they were little colonies, but the smaller states are all there.
