Virginia Conventions
The
Virginia Conventions
were a series of five political meetings in the
Colony of Virginia
during the
American Revolution
. Because the
House of Burgesses
had been dissolved in 1774 by Royal Governor
Lord Dunmore
, the conventions served as a revolutionary
provisional government
until the establishment of the independent
Commonwealth of Virginia
in 1776.
