Description: Wallenstein shows how people pushed for changes in the laws under which they live, love, work, vote, study, and shop--in Virginia, the South, and the nation.

Review Quotes:

There's nothing like this work in the literature of Virginia history.... I admire what Wallenstein has done and how he has done it. And I learned from him.

--Charles McCurdy, Professor of History, University of Virginia, author of The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865
