"That which is born follows the womb" was a legal doctrine passed in colonial Virginia in 1662 and other English crown colonies in the Americas which defined the legal status of children born there. The doctrine mandated that all children would inherit the legal status of their mothers. As such, children of enslaved women would be born into slavery.
