How about Vermont wanting to secede. 
Should we remind them of our last attempt to do so? The Yankees, of whom
they are one, they do not take kindly to wanting to get away from the taxing
authority in DC. 
Do not forget this is Juneteenth here in Texas. The end of a truly tragic
period of our history, which we have just discussed at length, to celebrate
the end of slavery.

Perhaps it is time to begin a new topic of discussion.  With the long
history of VA, surely there are other interests than slavery.  What is the
list interested in discussing? 

Pirates on the outer banks? 
Federalist Papers? 
How geography affected development? 
Indian traders? 
Shipping  and/or the VA navy? 
Huguenot settlements ?
The War of 1812 ? 

Someone please be brave enough to jump in with a new topic of discussion.
Let us avoid chastising each other and getting dangerously close to flaming.
