George McDuffie, a pro-slavery advocate and politician from South Carolina, argued that slavery was essential for the economic prosperity of the Southern states. He contended that the institution of slavery provided a stable labor force that was necessary for the cultivation of cash crops like cotton and tobacco, which were vital to the economy. McDuffie believed that the abolition of slavery would lead to economic ruin and social chaos in the South, as he viewed enslaved labor as integral to the region's agricultural success and overall wealth.

Slavery could have been resolved through a combination of legal measures, social reforms, and economic incentives. This could have included enacting laws to abolish slavery, providing education and job opportunities for former slaves, and implementing programs to promote equality and integration within society. Additionally, creating international agreements to combat human trafficking and forced labor could have also contributed to the resolution of slavery.
