The Virginia Line stood. Brandywine. Germantown. Monmouth. Trenton. Princeton. Stony Point. Charleston. Wherever Washington needed infantry that would hold the line and trade volleys with British regulars, the Virginians were in it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia gave the Continental Army more than any other state: fifteen regiments raised between 1775 and 1783, tens of thousands of men. The 1st and 2nd Virginia stood up in the fall of 1775 and went onto the Continental establishment that November. Patrick Henry, the man who said \"give me liberty or give me death,\" commanded the 1st. By the next year, Virginia was raising dozens more companies. This was the backbone of the army, the line infantry that did the unglamorous, lethal work of standing in the open and not flinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of the Virginia Line came one of the finest combat commanders America ever produced: Daniel Morgan. A rough Winchester teamster who had been flogged nearly to death by the British in the French and Indian War, Morgan raised a rifle company in 1775, marched it to Boston, and went on to command the 11th Virginia. At Cowpens in January 1781, he executed a double envelopment that destroyed Tarleton's command, one of the most perfect tactical victories in American military history. He learned his trade in the Virginia Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt cost them. Much of the Virginia Line was captured when Charleston fell in 1780, the worst American defeat of the war. The regiments were rebuilt, sent back south, and were there at the end. Virginia men were in the trenches at Yorktown in 1781 when Cornwallis finally gave up the fight, on Virginia soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteady under fire. That was the whole job, and the hardest thing a soldier can be asked to do.
