What if Virginia votes for gradual emancipation?

You're probably right. I probably got carried away.

Or, if I'm going to put something like that out there, I kind of need to do some of the work of building the bridge so to speak.

*The laws were also ever more restrictive of the liberties of indentured servants, and that part I really don't understand the rationale.

(in some ways reminds me of the modern Republican party, sorry).

This is the real flame bait. Half the US is Republican. It is similar to saying "The Roman Empire was based on bread and circuses. They doled out enough bread and provided enough mindless entertainment that the masses didn't realize they were power pawns. Reminds me of the Democrats really."
