  • Fort Christanna war eine Befestigungsanlage auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Brunswick Countys in Virginia an der Grenze zu North Carolina. Der Name setzt sich aus Christus und Queen Anne zusammen. Das Fort wurde von Gouverneur Alexander Spotswood im Jahr 1714 erbaut und 1718 wieder geschlossen. Es diente den Siedlern, insbesondere aber ebenso den benachbarten Indianern als Schutz gegen feindliche Stämme. Darüber hinaus sollten die Indianer missioniert werden und eine Schule besuchen, um die englische Sprache und Kultur zu erlernen. (de)
