Virginia passed a law encouraging manumission in response to growing anti-slavery sentiments and the desire for gradual emancipation during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The law aimed to allow slave owners to free their enslaved individuals more easily, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals of liberty and individual rights. Additionally, it was a practical response to the increasing number of free Black individuals in the state, as well as concerns about the moral implications of slavery and the potential for slave insurrections.
