{"product_id":"117-va194","title":"The Planters of Colonial Virginia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book tries to explain to the reader how the headright system, tobacco cultivation and the importation of slave labor transformed the colony of Virginia from a society of small farmers to the aristocracy of large plantation life. At the turn of the eighteenth century, most Virginia landowners were still self-sufficient small farmers holding a few hundred acres of land. The appendix in this book is the closest thing to a census for the years 1704-1705. The appendix is made up of over 7,000 Rent Rolls of individual landholders, listing them by county with the numbers of acres they had.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas J.
