In OTL I think as late as 1830 Virginia considered abolitioning slavery. By 1860as I understand it saying that slavery was morally or economially questionable in most of the South was actually physcially dangerous.

Also in OTL a more and more people in the North of the United States felt that slavery was something between embarassing to (in my view the morally corect view) toally evil

I am aware that Cotton especially became economically crucial and many people felt it more or less required that African Americans be proeprty to do this successfuly. i also know that some slave risings or rumours of same caused a lot of panic.


What could have happened to make more white male Southerners think that there was at least a question mark about slavery

Would a modest Southern emmigration group and a small pure abolition movement have changed anything
