Why is it incomplete to understand opposition to abolition only through ideology?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because opposition also included commercial profit and plantation interests

Opposition to abolition cannot be explained only as a disagreement about political ideas. Slavery supported plantations, shipping, insurance, trade, and the wealth of people connected with colonial production. Those who benefited economically could oppose abolition because ending slavery threatened their property, income, and commercial networks. Arguments about law, race, empire, and political authority might also be used, but material interests were an important part of the resistance.

This is why the statement that opposition had no economic base is incorrect. It is also wrong to say that all traders opposed slavery or that slavery was unprofitable. A complete historical explanation connects ideology with economic interest: people may defend an unjust system through ideas, while also protecting the profits they receive from it. Therefore choice A is the best answer.
