Chesapeake History

Tomorrow morning we will be leaving the city of Chesapeake, N.C.  The history here has played a major role in the birth of the United States of America.  During the American Revolution, colonists in the Chesapeake region celebrated an important victory at the epic Battle of Great Bridge in 1775.  This victory was responsible for removing all vestiges of British Government from the Colony of Virginia.  It was a significant turn in the America's fight for freedom.  We are not yet in the Chesapeake Bay area, although we will be entering the Bay late tomorrow afternoon.
