American Race Relations and the Legacy of British Colonialism
Colonial rule distorts a colony’s economy and its society, and British rule was no exception. British policies led to a stratified American colonial society with slaves on the bottom and white settlers on top. The divided society functioned through laws that imposed rules and defined roles of the respective races. This occurred in other colonies too, often leading to strife that continues today.

Our perception of life at Monticello has changed dramatically over the past quarter century.
