Best Answer

It was the mainstay of the cotton industry, their only source of wealth.

As the debate heated-up through the 1850's, Southern leaders put pressure on church ministers to preach that slavery was a perfect God-given arrangement of man and master, and that Abolitionists were wretched sinners, blaspheming against the Word.

(The North, of course, preached the opposite.)
