Why were plantation owners afraid of abolition of slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They feared losing cheap slave labour and profits

Plantation owners relied on enslaved people as unpaid or very low-cost labour to produce cash crops such as sugar and coffee. Abolition would require them to hire and pay free workers, raising production costs and reducing profits. Therefore, option A is correct. The issue was not a ban on plantation farming; it was the loss of an exploitative labour system. Exam tip: Link plantation owners’ opposition to abolition with their economic interests.
