The answer is * They would lose their wealth and way of life because they depended on the labor of slaves.

Explanation:

Unlike the trade and industry oriented north, the southern economy heavily relied on the plantation sector and the slavery that was driving it. Abolishing slavery threatened their life style and the way of life, along with the wealth they possessed.
