Most colonists were economically reliant on slavery for their agricultural economies, particularly in the Southern colonies, where cash crops like tobacco and cotton thrived on slave labor. Additionally, societal norms and racial attitudes of the time reinforced the belief in white superiority, making it difficult for many to question the morality of slavery. Furthermore, the fear of economic instability and social upheaval that could arise from abolishing slavery often led to a reluctance to critically examine the institution. Lastly, religious and cultural justifications for slavery contributed to its acceptance, further hindering critical scrutiny among the colonists.
