From the supplier: American slavery was a moral crime, but it was more an economic institution than a racist one, common throughout the world as a profitable means of labor. Racism provided whites with a justification and defense for slavery. However, slavery was always in conflict with the doctrine of equality set forth in the Declaration by the American Founders. Jefferson, and later Lincoln, recognized that democracy requires the consent of the governed, and that to outlaw slavery required the white majority's consent. Racism provided whites' social status, so the end of slavery did not end racism.
