Ending slavery immediately before the Civil War would have created significant economic and social upheaval, particularly in the Southern states that relied heavily on enslaved labor for agriculture and industry. The sudden loss of this labor force could have led to economic collapse in the South, exacerbating tensions between the North and South.
