We have a province here which still laments the loss of its feudalism. It was a set up as a counter-reformation effort to rewind the clock, reinstate feudal lords with tithing, all tightly controlled by the Roman Catholic church. 
They also sustained both chattel and debt slavery.  
There are uncountable symbols and memorials to the past and the current license plates have the logo , I remember. 
I don't criticize them because that is their history even if it has been sanitized and, excuse the term, white-washed. 
Given all this, are we sure that we should be running an article with this theme about Virginia?
