Arthur Lee
1740 – 1792
A member of a prominent Virginia family, Arthur Lee was educated at Eton College in England, later took a degree in medicine at the University of Edinburgh and studied law in London. He stayed in Europe to represent American interests, serving in that capacity alongside Franklin in London for a time, and also to Spain and Prussia. After the war, he returned to Virginia to briefly represent his state in Congress. Like Jefferson and Franklin, he saw slavery as an evil fostered by imperial policy.
