Freedome Corne: Virginia Before the American Revolution

Colonial Virginia prospered under the indentured labor system. Conscripted servants became free upon fulfilling a period of indenture, ordinarily about seven years. Upon gaining freedom, an indentured person received some clothing, a few tools, and a supply of seed corn with which to begin a new life. These colonial freemen formed the core citizenry of the agrarian nation that ultimately became the United States of America. For those interested in early Virginia, especially those that had ancestors there, this book offers a detailed picture of life in those times, including what life was like for residents in their homes, social strata, economics, and environment. The characters are common people experiencing life under the shadow of great historical events, people of ordinary means often struggling to survive. They encounter the same dilemmas, disappointments, and triumphs that most readers will easily identify in the history of their own ancestors.
