Until Turner’s rebellion, Virginia had been moving towards emancipation. (Britain freed all her slaves in 1833). After that, the movement went the other way, for fear of the slaves.

Turner effective smothered the anti-slavery movement in Virginia; had that movement succeeded, a civil war would likely have been avoided (it’s difficult to imagine a Confederacy without Virginia).
