Define slave society and a society of slaves ?

Virginia had become a slave society, rather than a society with slaves. Slavery influenced the state's social and political institutions, commerce, and industry. Virginia, like the rest of the nation, was divided on the expansion of slavery in the territories and state's rights.  In 1857, the U.S. Supreme court ruled that the federal government had no power to regulate slavery in the territories.  Thank you hope this help you.
