He drafted 126 bills in three years, including laws to streamline the judicial system. Jefferson's proposed statutes provided for general education, which he considered the basis of "republican government".[62] He had become alarmed that Virginia's powerful landed gentry were becoming a hereditary aristocracy. He took the lead in abolishing what he called "feudal and unnatural distinctions." ▲He targeted laws such as entail and primogeniture by which the oldest son inherited all the land. The entail laws made it perpetual: the one who inherited the land could not sell it, but had to bequeath it to his oldest son. As a result, increasingly large plantations, worked by white tenant farmers and by black slaves, gained in size and wealth and ▲political power in the eastern ("Tidewater") tobacco areas.[66] During the Revolutionary era, all such laws were repealed by the states ▲that had them.[67] Jefferson was elected governor for one-year terms in 1779 and 1780.[68] He transferred the state capital from Williamsburg to Richmond, and introduced measures for public education, religious freedom, and revision of inheritance laws.[69] During General Benedict Arnold's 1781 invasion of Virginia, Jefferson escaped Richmond just ahead of the British forces, and the city was burned to the ground.[70][71] Jefferson sent an emergency dispatch to Colonel Sampson Mathews, whose militia was traveling nearby, ▲to thwart Arnold's efforts.[72][73] General Charles Cornwallis that spring dispatched a cavalry force led by Banastre Tarleton to capture Jefferson and members of the Assembly at Monticello, but Jack Jouett of the Virginia militia thwarted the British plan. Jefferson escaped to Poplar Forest, his plantation to the west.[74] When the General ▲Assembly reconvened in June 1781, it conducted an inquiry into Jefferson's actions which eventually concluded that Jefferson had acted with honor—but he ▲was not re-elected.[75] In April of the same year, his daughter Lucy died at age one.

Jefferson included his written responses in a book, Notes on the State of▲ Virginia (1785).[77] He compiled the book over five years, including reviews of scientific knowledge, Virginia's history, politics, laws, culture, and geography.[78] The book explores what constitutes a good society, using Virginia as an exemplar. Jefferson included extensive data about the state's natural resources and economy and wrote at length ▲about slavery, miscegenation, and his belief that blacks and whites could not live together as free people in one society because of justified resentments ▲of the enslaved.[79] He also wrote of his views on the American Indian and considered them as equals in body and mind to European settlers.[80][81] Notes was first published in 1785 in French and appeared in English in 1787.[82] Biographer George Tucker considered the work "surprising in the extent of the information which a single individual had been thus able to acquire, as to the physical features of the state",[83] and Merrill D. Peterson described it as an accomplishment for which all Americans should be grateful.[84] Member of Congress Legislative chamber Independence Hall Assembly ▲Room where Jefferson served in Congress The United States formed a Congress of the Confederation following victory in the Revolutionary War and a peace treaty with Great Britain in 1783, to which Jefferson was appointed as a Virginia delegate.
