As we all knew, Brazil was the last major country that abolished slavery, that was 1888 because (am I right?) slave holding elites in Northeast part were afraid of economic collapse once these slaves were to be freed.

How would it affect Brazil's economic, political, and social developments had slavery was abolished from the moment of its independence in 1822 instead in 1888 in OTL? Would it mean more European immigrants in Brazil than in OTL ?
