This title of the blog is just a parable, because this time I wanna say something about the tour in the Colonial Williamsburg of the US. Walking around the street of Williamsburg, it's like that we were back to about more than 200 years ago. The buildings and the actors standing in front of some buildings, if there were no visitors here, perheps everyone would had believed that it was a British town of the 1700s. Due to Erik, we had a really happy time in the Williamsburg.
From some reference information, during the 18th century, half of Williamsburg's population was black. The lives of the enslaved and free people in this Virginia capital are presented in reenactments and programs by Colonial Williamsburg's Department of African American Interpretation and Presentations, founded in 1988.
We spent most of the time on touring the capitol of the Colonial Williamsburg, which was also the capitol of the United States. It's a beautiful building and there was a kind uncle standing in front of the gate.
The first colony to speak for American independence, Virginia spoke with the unanimous voices of the gentlemen who gathered May 15, 1776, in the tall brick building that dominated the east end of Williamsburg. From what had been England's original New World possession, Virginia instructed its delegation at Philadelphia's Continental Congress to move the question of freedom. Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence records the Continental Congress's answer. So it's really a historical building in the American history.
In the title of this blog, I said it's like a special patriotism education for me. Though I am not an American, I believe in American people's mind, they really love this state. They don't want to forget this period of history. They maintained everything well which is related to it. Williamsburg is a park, like a book, which offer the American people a chance to remember the process of establishing the United States.
