Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson: Lover of LibertyEpperson was reelected to Congress, but feeling the need of reformed legislation in his native state, declined. To him goes the credit for establishing within Virginia the most advanced, revolutionary, and demo cratic laws then known to man. He loved the people and hated class distinction of any kind. His first blow at the old aristocracy of wealth, to make an opening for the aristocracy of virtue and talent, was the abolition of the laws of entail and primogeniture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
