When Alexander Hamilton became president in 1789, southerners generally supported slavery as an essential part of their agricultural economy, particularly in the production of cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Many viewed it as a necessary institution for their economic prosperity and social structure. However, there were also growing tensions, as some southerners began to question the morality of slavery and its future viability, especially in light of the burgeoning abolitionist sentiment in the northern states.
