The Revolutionary Virginia Manumission Law of 1782

Master thesis | North American Studies (MA)
When the United States was formed, the division between the North and South on the basis of slavery was not as evident as it would later become. Virginia, as a Southern state, did experience a moment where slavery was questioned. This questioning mounted in the 1782 Virginia Manumission Law. This thesis investigates how Virginia dealt with the question of slavery in the Revolutionary Era.
