In his draft of the Declaration, Jefferson condemned the King for disallowing a law of the Virginia colony to ban the importation of slaves from Africa. Can someone give me a cite to that law and if possible also one or two secondary sources that discuss the law and king overruling it. Off list answers are fine. Thanks in advance. -- Paul Finkelman Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law University of Tulsa College of Law 3120 East 4th Place Tulsa, OK 74104-3189 918-631-3706 (office) 918-631-2194 (fax) [log in to unmask] To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
