Virginia

Virginia is one of the fifty states that makes up the United States of America. It was the tenth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on June 25, 1788. It was also one of the eleven states that seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America on March 16, 1861, and remained so until the end of the American Civil War in 1865. It was formally readmitted to the United States in 1870. It is the thirty-fifth largest state by area and the twelfth largest by population.
