As a content thought, was there really a caste system in Virginia? Of course there was class separation, but I don't think the caste system is the same.
I like what you have so far, and the way you did your sources was wonderful, but also how do these tie into your thesis? The details are related to slaves, but are they relevant on how Br encouraged it?
You have a lot of support in this, thats great.
I cant wait to read the rough draft :)
