I just learned that the Virginia legislature considered a bill to gradually abolish slavery in 1831. The Nat Turner insurrection killed that. Talk about a what if. This seems to follow other trends in the North such as no child born after a certain date was automatically a slave.
Does anyone have any details of this legislation?
