Ethnicity

Virginia Population Density Map

The five largest reported ancestry groups in Virginia are: African (19.6%), German (11.7%), unspecified American (11.4%), English (11.1%), and Irish (9.8%).[6] Many of Virginia's African population are descended from enslaved Africans who worked its tobacco, cotton, and hemp plantations. Initially, these slaves were imported from west central Africa, primarily Angola. During the eighteenth century, however, about half of them were derived from various ethnicities located in the Niger Delta region of modern day Nigeria.[7] They contributed strongly to the development of Southern foodways, music, vernacular architecture, and religion. With continued immigration to Virginia of other European groups and the 19th century sales of tens of thousands of enslaved African Americans from Virginia to the Deep South, the percent of enslaved African Americans fell from once being half of the total population. By 1860 slaves comprised 31% of the state's population of 1.6 million.[8] Kinship and descent is one of the major concepts of cultural anthropology. ...

In colonial Virginia the majority of free people of color were descended from marriages or relationships of white women (servants or free) and black men (slave, servant or free), reflecting the fluid relationships among working people. Many free black families were well-established and headed by landowners by the Revolution.[9] From 1782 to 1818, a wave of slaveholders inspired by the Revolutionary ideals of equality freed slaves, until the legislature made manumissions more difficult. Some African Americans freed were those whose fathers were white masters, while others were freed for service.[10] By 1860 there were 58,042 free people of color (black or mulatto, as classified in the census) in Virginia.[8] Over the decades, many had gathered in the cities of Richmond and Petersburg where there were more job opportunities. Others were landowners who had working farms, or found acceptance from neighbors in the frontier areas of Virginia.[9] A map of the Colony of Virginia. ...

The twentieth century Great Migration of blacks from the rural South to the urban North reduced Virginia's black population to about 20%.[2] Today, African-Americans are concentrated in the eastern and southern Tidewater and Piedmont regions where plantation agriculture was the most dominant.[11] The western mountains were settled primarily by people of heavily Scots-Irish ancestry.[12] There are also sizable numbers of people of German descent in the northwestern mountains and Shenandoah Valley.[13] The states in blue had the ten largest net gains of African-Americans, while the states in red had the ten largest net losses. ...
