hey in a TL i'm writing i was thinking of having Virginia begin the process of abolishing slavery sometime in the 1820's. My thoughts were for them to first start with making all slaves free born & then in the next 10-20 years start a 5-10 year program where the government buys back the remaining slaves from their owners & freeing the rest that way.
What i was wanting to know was 1.) What is the best way to get Virginia to start doing this? 2.) Will the way i thought of doing it actually work? & 3.) if it does could this end up getting at lest the upper south states to begin their own similar process?
