In the 1700s, Virginia's population of free African Americans grew due to the passage of laws that encouraged manumission, or the voluntary emancipation of enslaved individuals by their owners. These laws allowed slaveholders to free their slaves more easily, particularly if they had served them for a certain period or had shown loyalty. As a result, some enslaved individuals gained their freedom, leading to the establishment of a small but significant population of free African Americans in Virginia. This shift contributed to a complex social dynamic in the colony, influencing both the economy and the struggle for rights.
