Why would plantation owners have seen abolition of slavery as a threat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it would end their system of production and profit based on forced labour

Plantation owners earned profits from crops such as sugar and coffee produced through enslaved labour, often without wages and under harsh conditions. If slavery ended, they would have to employ and pay free workers, reducing both their control and profits. Therefore, abolition threatened their economic interests. Options B and C are the opposite of abolition, which aimed to end the buying, selling, and forced labour of enslaved people. Exam tip: Reforms are often opposed by groups whose economic benefits depend on the existing system.
