"The fourth president of the United States, James Madison, and his wife, Dolley, stamped their influence throughout Culpeper, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties with their plantation, Montpelier, and the enslaved men and women who supported them. ...The legacy of slavery undergirds the region, and its ravages are undeniably on the faces of minority residents. ...A Texas native and Virginia resident, Terry L. Miller is an author and museum curator who helps local communities document and display their histories. Descendants shared family lore so that a portrait emerged of African American beauty, spirit, resilience, and pain." -- page 4 of cover.

The New Dominion analyzes six key statewide elections to explore the demographic, cultural, and economic changes that drove the transformation of the state’s politics and shaped the political Virginia of today. Countering the common narrative that the shifting politics of Virginia is a recent phenomenon driven by population growth in the urban corridor, the contributors to this volume consider the antecedents to the rise of Virginia as a two-party competitive state in the critical elections of the twentieth century that they profile.
