This debate was mostly about slavery. It started when John Floyd, Governor of Virginia during the time, stated that in order to prevent another rebellion like Turner's Rebellion(Rebellion of 80 slaves, ended up with 60 white people killed) to not happen again, the slaves needed to be emancipated. Virginia voted against emancipation for the slaves.
