As noted above, the intrinsic rate of population increase of the enslaved people was about 22% per decade. Once new enslaved people could not be introduced into the US through the acquisition of new territory in Louisiana, Florida and Texas, its demographic weakness was exposed. Disease conditions in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas make the situation worse.
Both northern parties were pro immigration by 1860, which meant the relative power of slavery was going to decline in the US.
