From the Paper:

"One of the major blemishes on the face of Virginia is its history as a slave state. With a strong pride in its people, and an important history politically, the state continues to struggle with the causes and significant status of slavery in the state's history. In addition to the stigma associated with the state's history with slavery, is the unfortunate reality that slavery made possible white freedom in 1776, and developed the longstanding financial landscape for Virginia."
