- Jimmy, we need to head westward to get away from Jamestown. It's not safe
- It seems that everyone is moving westward. Let's go Oscar!
- Let's go Westward. Lets head to Richmond!Everyone is going that way!
- I hear there is lots of land and great soil.
- We can plant so many crops here Oscar.
- Yes we can. The soil is so rich. We have so much land.
- This is more of a central location.
- In 1780 Virginia's capital was moved from Williamsburg to Richmond, Va. The population at this time started moving westward.Source: solpass.org
- This does seem more logical. We can sell more crops and earn more money.
- The population was moving westward because of land, good soil for farming, and the land was cheap. Source: lcps.org
- I think we are safer here.
- I agree. This move has increased the distance from the British.
- There was so much land and the soil was great for crops. Source: solpass.org
- And that's how Richmond became the capital of Virginia. The End!
- People wanted to settle VA, own land, and make money growing crops They followed the James River upstream instead of staying close to the Chesapeake Bay. Once again, it seem logical to move the capital to a new town that was a more central location to where more of the population was living. Source: lcps.org
- Moving to Richmond increased the distance from attacks by the British. This made them less vulnerable to a British attack. Source: solpass.org
- The End. Jayden Bennett
