Ayep, slavery goes, they lose their economy. Or, rather, they have to start compensating their former slaves for their work, something that man of the plantation rich were never going to accept.

It’s why I always get a kick out of the Neo-Confederates who like to talk about how we could have had a peaceful emancipation, with slavery gradually going away. A fantasy that has kept going for decades.

England had a peaceful emancipation, but England had an entirely different scenario—none of the slaves were in England.
