Should Virginia join?

I have doubts that Virginia would be better off as a part of the new union. The question in my opinion isn't whether or not we need the union, but does the union need us? Let's be honest, the new nation's economy would most likely cripple without Virginia's economic contribution. Slave trade is very important to Virginia's economy, and though at the Constitutional Convention leaders have tried to make compromises such as The Three-Fifths Compromise and The Slave Trade Compromise, these conclusions may have hurt us more than help us. Even though the Slave Trade Compromise gives us more time to accommodate to the end of slave trade, it's still ending, and slavery is very important in maintaining our major staple crops. And including slaves as only 3/5s of a person in the population count is only 3/5s of what we wanted. The state's future may be better off as a sovereign state.
