In this episode I discuss Virginia's history of secession--mentioning some of the Commonwealths greats: General Robert E. Lee, as well as our local counties view of Union and secession (Rockingham County, Virginia). Many folks don't know that the Old Dominion's legal referendums held multiple votes over the issue of secession.

What do you think was the defining factor that pushed Virginia to secede?
