Abolishing slavery without more federal control was challenging because the institution was deeply entrenched in state economies and social systems, particularly in the South. States had significant autonomy and often resisted federal intervention, leading to conflicts over rights and governance. Additionally, the political landscape was polarized, with pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions vying for power, making consensus difficult. Without a strong federal mandate, efforts to end slavery were often met with legal and violent pushback at the state level.
