Would slavery lasted longer than the 10 years OTL ? It was the first "plantation state" to outlaw slavery. It was followed by Deleware and Maryland in 1833 and Kentucky in 1834. North Carolina and Tennessee followed a year later. Arkansas was admitted as a free state in 1836, the same year that Louisiana and Mississippi outlawed it. In 1838 Alabama outlawed it leaving only Georgia and South Carolina. Georgia saw the handwriting on the wall and finally outlawed it in 1840 while South Carolina was the last to outlaw it in 1842. Would we have start a war to annex Texas or would we have been too worried about the balance between slave and free states? How long do you think it would have taken for Florida to become a state?
