The condition of the African-Americans in the Reconstructed South after the war remained almost the same as before. Superficially it might look that their conditions improved, but “Black Codes” were made to keep dominating the Afro-Americans. Under this code taxes were levied on the free Blacks that tried to join any other profession except agriculture. This law also restricted their opportunities of renting lands or possessing guns. This was another kind of slavery that the African-Americans had to go through during this phase.

Answer:

Think about slavery. The average African-American will have very low morale if he is forced to work. Low morale means their work ethic will slip, and sub-par work ethic leads to sub-par product. You'll actually be saving money if you free your slaves. Rather than paying tens of thousands of dollars to buy them and then paying for all of their expenses beyond that, you'll just have to pay them monthly or weekly wages. Abolition is both cost effective and stimulating to the economy.

Explanation:

Large concentrations of individuals were more expensive to care for, especially medically. Most slave owners were primarily concerned about the so-called "wage bubble" that would burst and leave all slave owners destitute, when in reality slave owners who freed their slaves and still had some working for them as freemen flourished.
