Jefferson's Freeholders and the Politics of Ownership in the Old Dominion - Cambridge Studies on the American South
Curtis, Christopher Michael (Claflin University, South Carolina)
This book explores how Virginia was transformed from a British colony into a Southern slave state. It details how the traditional principles of land tenure were subverted by economic and political changes, and how they fostered law reforms where slavery replaced land ownership as the distinguishing basis for political power.
