Why did many antislavery societies focus on gradual emancipation rather than immediate emancipation?

Many antislavery societies advocated for gradual emancipation rather than immediate emancipation because they believed it would be more politically feasible and socially acceptable to the broader public, particularly in the Northern states where economic ties to slavery were weaker. Gradual emancipation allowed for a structured transition, providing time for slaveholders to adjust and for freed individuals to integrate into society. Additionally, proponents thought that a gradual approach would mitigate potential backlash and violence from pro-slavery factions, promoting a more peaceful path toward ending slavery.

During the post-Revolutionary period the Southern states allowed for the gradual emancipation of slaves.?

During the post-Revolutionary period, some Southern states began to implement gradual emancipation laws, reflecting Enlightenment ideals of liberty and individual rights. However, these measures were often limited and inconsistent, as economic interests heavily relied on slave labor for agriculture, particularly in the cotton industry. While some enslaved individuals were freed through manumission or legislative acts, the overall institution of slavery remained deeply entrenched in Southern society. Ultimately, the gradual approach failed to significantly alter the systemic reliance on slavery before the Civil War.
