Explanation:
[Some background notes i guess]
The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom is a statement about both freedom of conscience and the principle of separation of church and state. Written by Thomas Jefferson and passed by the Virginia General Assembly on January 16, 1786, it is the forerunner of the first amendment protections for religious freedom. Divided into three paragraphs, the statute is rooted in Jefferson's philosophy. It could be passed in Virginia because Dissenting sects there (particularly Baptists, Presbyterians, and Methodists) had petitioned strongly during the preceding decade for religious liberty, including the separation of church and state.
Jefferson had argued in the Declaration of Independence that "the laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle [man]…." The first paragraph of the religious statute proclaims one of those entitlements, freedom of thought. To Jefferson, "Nature's God," who is undeniably visible in the workings of the universe, gives man the freedom to choose his religious beliefs. This is the divinity whom deists of the time accepted—a God who created the world and is the final judge of man, but who does not intervene in the affairs of man. This God who gives man the freedom to believe or not to believe is also the God of the Christian sects.

One of the major outcomes of the North winning the U.S. Civil War was the abolition of Slavery.
After the war broke out, through a legal maneuver the Union general Benjamin Butler, stated that any slave who came into "Union possession" were considered contraband of war, and because of this, they were not subject to be returned to their original owners, the Confederates. And as a result the word was spread and soon many slaves sought refuge in the Union territory in order to be declared as "contraband".
Later general Butler's interpretation was reinforced by the Confiscation Act of 1861, which stated that any Confederate military's property, including slaves, could be confiscated by Union forces.
And finally, due to the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1st, 1863, in a single stroke over 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy changed their legal status and were recognized by the U.S. government as free people.
