SECTIONALISM 
IN VIRGINIA 
By CHARLES HENRY AMBLER 
ROM the earliest colonial times 
Virginia was a land of sectional 
differences, which influenced to an 
important degree the course of her 
history. These differences and their 
results are treated in an able book 
by Charles Henry Ambler entitled 
Sectionalism in Virginia. Extensive 
research in the archives at Charles- 
ton, Richmond, and Washington, 
and the examination of numerous 
documents have given the author 
material which throws much new 
light on Virginia’s internal troubles 
in ante-bellum days. 
Mr. Ambler has divided his 
material into three periods, the first 
beginning with colonial times and 
ending with Bacon’s rebellion; the 
second including the emigration into 
the Piedmont, the’ Revolution, and 
the Constitutional Convention of 
1829-1830; and the third begin- 
ning with the demand of the Trans- 
Alleghany section for a greater voice 
in the state government, which led 
to dismemberment just before the 
Civil War. 
Twelve maps illustrating the vote 
on important resolutionsare scattered 
through the book.
