Plot

This study concentrates on the paradox that existed in colonial Virginia between the growing ideal of individual rights at the same time the institution of slavery was becoming more rigid and repressive. Thomas Jefferson typified the colonial leader who abhorred the effect of slavery on whites and blacks alike, but who depended on slave labor and saw no easy way to resolve the dilemma.
