what ideas - it's a tough one

I'm curious about how we get rid of slavery by that time. It turned out to be too hard to keep slavery out of Georgia and I heard on SHWI that exclusion of slavery was never considered from Kentucky on south.
So the Dunmore idea is what you mentioned. What do we end up seeing, destabilization of slavery from British doing recruitment in the south and attracting freedmen to occupied Delmarva, the sea islands and Florida?
Just spitballing but one way to get there might be to have the constitution fail to be ratified and having a series of intercolonial wars in the 1790s.
Alas, I genuinely can't figure out what a Southern economy without slavery would look like. Plantation agriculture has played such a big role in the region that the alternative is hard to see.The Southern Economy Without Slavery?
I've been kicking around some ideas for how to get rid of slavery in most of the southern states by the 1790s, and I've been mulling over the consequences for American history.
