If opponents of slavery at the Constitutional Convention had insisted on immediate abolition, it likely would have led to significant conflict among states and potentially derailed the formation of the new government. Southern states, heavily reliant on slavery for their economies, may have refused to ratify the Constitution, resulting in a fragmented union. This could have delayed or altered the course of American history, possibly leading to a more prolonged conflict over slavery and civil rights. Ultimately, the compromise on slavery allowed for the eventual creation of the Constitution, but at the cost of perpetuating the institution for several more decades.
