I think it’s fair to say that 17 April 1861, was one of the most important days 
in Virginia history. The Virginia Convention voted to leave the United States 
and enter the Confederacy. Two of the three original copies of the resulting 
document, the Ordinance of Secession, reside here at the Library of Virginia 
(LVA). Today’s blog post is about the events surrounding the creation of the 
Ordinance of Secession and how it came to reside here at the LVA. Virginia’s 
signed Ordinance of Secession will be on display at the LVA this Saturday, 16 
April 2011.
