My Fifth Day

Today was my fifth day and I spent time talking to my cousin William and his wife Mary. Although Virginia is also  a democracy plantation owners seem to have more power and money than regular citizens and this gives them a higher power in their social hierarchy. I find this strange and fascinating at the same time because in New England there is a lesser pressence of wealth and tax collectors and other undeserving wealthy citizens were tar and feathered as a punishment.
