Bigger Black population in the South Ante Belum

WI either the international slave trade lasted longer or there were more efficient 'entrepeneurs' breeding human property.

If say 42% of the states that became the CSA were slave or (not very)free black.

Would the Southern regime feel weaker and and less iikely to plot treason agaisnt the elected government?

Given the 3 fifths clause would that have strengthened the Planter power in Pre 1860 politics

If the ACW happened as in OLT would it make Reconstruction more likely to work

I dunno about weaker.....more paranoid, perhaps; remember, slave rebellions were already enough to make just about any Southerner's hair stand on end.
 
The percentage in OTL actually wasn't much different from that. The South had 9 million people, of whom 3.5 million were slaves, and a few hundred thousand free blacks.
