Virginia was a royal colony, meaning it was under the direct control of the British Crown. The governor, appointed by the king, held significant power and was responsible for enforcing British laws. The House of Burgesses, an elected assembly, played a role in local governance and legislation. However, ultimate authority rested with the British government.
Despite being a British colony, Virginia had a distinct
culture that blended British traditions with local influences. Religion played
a significant role, with the Anglican Church being the established church of
the colony. Education was limited, with only a few schools available, primarily
for the elite. However, informal education through apprenticeships and
home-based learning was common.
