A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The authors purpose in the School History of Virginia is to supply the pupils in the public schools with a history of the Virginia people from the beginning of Jamestown until the present time. In abandoning the old idea of considering the history of this State as merely a story of the Virginia Colony and accounts of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars with a few generalities on the last century, and in giving a proportioned treatment of the story of over three centuries of the life of the Virginia people, it has been necessary to secure a considerable amount of new material. Tn this volume, therefore, the space ordinarily allotted to the Colonial. Revolutionary and Civil War periods has been cut down without sacrificing important facts and graphic details, and greater space has been devoted to the periods between the Revolution and the Civil War and since the Civil War. Not only have a number of events hitherto unknown to the child been added to those ordinarily included, but considerable emphasis has been given to such important phases of the life of the Virginia people as education, internal improvements, slavery, sectionalism between the eastern and western parts of the state, the Read.juster days, the growth of farming and industry, and the customs and ways of living. Politics has been so treated as to be stated in terms of concrete aims and events rather than in terms of theory.
