[161] Hildreth, in his History of the United States, says that the law making “Negroes, Mulattoes, and Indians” real estate “continued to be the law so long as Virginia remained a British colony.”  This is a mistake, as the reader can see.  The law was repealed nearly a quarter of a century before Virginia ceased to be a British colony.
