AND even if slaveowners had sold their slaves to the north, what would stop them from buying more? The fact that importing slaves had been illegal for 50 years?

But then the South’s economy would have still gone to shambles because it was based around slave labor. I don’t think the South would have ever taken the deal, while we also have to realize the burdens of bringing in a huge immigrant population. The South is still feeling the effects of this reality, why would the North want to not only inherit the problem, but have to pay for it too!
