WE ARE UNIQUE
Our colony was named after Queen Elizabeth I who was also called the Virgin Queen. Virginia was the first colony. It was made a royal colony in 1624. It became a state on June 25th, 1788.

YOU SHOULD COME BECAUSE...
There are low taxes and it is in the Southern colonies. The temperature is almost always warmer and there is plenty of rain. They can grow crops all year round! Their crops are: tobacco, cotton, livestock, fruit, and grain. Slavery was finished in 1865 at the end of the Civil War.
