Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total value of slaves in the U.S. indeed increased substantially after the importation of slaves was officially banned in 1808. This was due to the domestic slave trade's growth and the increased demand for slave labor, especially in the expanding cotton industry of the South. The other options are inaccurate: A) The status of new states regarding slavery was a contentious issue, leading to various compromises (e.g., Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850); B) Slaves were not universally prohibited from western territories and new states, as their status was often a matter of intense debate and negotiation; C) While there was opposition to slavery among some white workers in the South due to economic competition, the formal unionization movement as understood today was not a significant feature of this period.
