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.
