Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the turbulent years leading up to the American Revolution through the lens of Virginia's legal history. The author meticulously compiles and annotates the statutes at large, providing a comprehensive record of colonial laws passed from 1761 to 1773. These laws reveal a period of growing tension between the colonies and the British crown, with the author highlighting key instances of royal oppression that fueled the spirit of rebellion. By examining the laws governing issues such as taxation, land ownership, and militia regulations, the book illuminates the evolving political landscape that ultimately led to Virginia's secession from Great Britain.
