The state motto for Virginia is "Sic Semper Tyrannis" which translates to "Thus Always to Tyrants", this occurred because of the victory over tyranny in 1776, the American Revolution. The quote was proposed by George Mason to be put in the seal of Virginia in 1776 at the Virginia Convention. In case of the Latin, it is correct with "Sic" meaning Thus and "Semper Tyrannis" translating to Always to Tyrants. This is surprising since most mottos are in some way confused or butchered so this was well done. Lastly, my opinion of this motto for Virginia is very fitting and well thought of considering at the time the events that took place which made very important history for the state it represents it very well and continues to stand out as well thought of and well-executed motto.
