The slave trade was all about commerce where business could make maximum profits from the smallest investments. Labor usually accounts for a very large part of expenditures so free (slave labor) or cheap labor from impoverished societies is always a more lucrative option for commercial exploitation.

What was the pros and cons of each side of the commerce and slave trade compromise?

The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise of 1787 allowed the federal government to regulate interstate and international trade while protecting the slave trade for a limited time. The pros for the North included the ability to regulate commerce, which was essential for economic growth, while the South benefited from the protection of the slave trade until 1808, ensuring their agricultural economy could thrive. However, the compromise also highlighted deep regional divisions; the North had to accept the continuation of slavery, which contradicted their growing abolitionist sentiments, while the South had to concede to federal control over commerce, limiting their autonomy. Ultimately, it reflected a temporary solution that postponed deeper conflicts over slavery and trade.
