Williamsburg

The previous days of 4th of july I stayed at Williamsburg. I have never heard about it, but the inhabitants of these Little village play an important role in the Amercian Revolution during the XVIII century.
The village was totally rebuilt an there was a lot of characters that help you to make an idea of how was the life at that time. Personally, I really liked the history of James Lafayette,  who was the first African American double spy. Due to his activity, the Virginia General Assembly freed him in 1787 in recognition of his bravery and service and  he arrived to onwe his own land in New Kent County. That was just a little history of the fighting spirit that involved all the American Revolution.
