It was the first such time in Virginias history but, writes author Louis Rubin, it would not be the last. From the beginning, Virginians have styled their government a conservative commonwealth, seeking stability amid change and often fashioning change to fit their concept of what Virginia-and America-should be like. In the eighteenth century Golden Age, Virginia was a world of broad acres and country gentlemen. To preserve the world, Virginians led a revolution and helped to found a government that they believed would secure their childrens future. In the name of old and tried principles, Virginians in 1861 seceded from the Union to defend a way of life that to them seemed worth fighting for. In the twentieth century, they paid as they went, convinced that debt meant the end of good government.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856195813664,"sku":"NEW0393301370","price":27.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71i2sAVQeqL.jpg?v=1781548093","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/virginia-a-history-states-and-the-nation-series-0393301370","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
