This article and others on Wikipedia make reference to the “aristocracy” in Virginia. While there was certainly a gentry class in Virginia, there was no aristocracy. That word implies hereditary titles and primogenitor, as in the fourth Earl of this or the Marquis of that. Only one Virginian was ever knighted, Sir John Randolph, and his title was not conveyed. Please correct this mistake. 2600:8805:3806:CB00:50A3:54A4:D554:3446 (talk) 15:49, 3 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Aristocracy is distinct from a monarchy, so it is not a mistake. The Ancient Greeks conceived the term to mean rule by the best qualified, hereditary titles would have been considered a corrupt form of aristocracy.--ZadieTwinge (talk) 06:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

The article which should probably return to the better known ,The Virginia Slave Codes of 1705, which was once a longer article that discussed how the codes were part of the institutionalizing of the slave industry in the Americas and hence the U.S.
The older article spoke more of the intentional social divisions that motivated these act and should be expounded on. 97.120.153.119 (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
