Thank you all for your info on beer and blue laws. Now I am wondering how I can find out info on government programs to help the poor in Virginia from the settlement of Jamestown up through the depression. I am also interested if Virginia's laws were typical or atypical of Colonial laws and programs. I know I am asking a lot of questions, however, not being a historian or teacher, my curiosity well exceeds my knowledge.
