Virginia law supported slavery by enacting various laws that defined slaves as property rather than people, making it legal to buy, sell, and own individuals as slaves. Laws also restricted the rights and freedoms of slaves, denying them the ability to marry, own property, or participate in society as free individuals. Additionally, Virginia law imposed harsh punishments on slaves who attempted to escape or rebel against their owners, ensuring that the institution of slavery remained intact.
