Would slavery have ended if there wasn't great opposition to it?

Consider this: Today, fewer than 1 in 5 approve of Clowngress. Often, the number is fewer than 1 in 10. The U.S. government, and the very select few who own it, do anything they damned well want to. They don't care if they have public support or not. Those who are elected obey their largest donors, and it is highly likely that we don't know who they are, and never will. They don't just own the money and the government, they literally make the money and the government.

My point is that you seem to be blaming all Whites for whatever demons haunt you. Did you know that Blacks sold their own families into slavery? Did you also know that Blacks owned slaves? Did you know that Muslims owned Christian slaves before the USA ever existed? The world has been filled with slavery and tyranny since recorded history began. Today, slavery is very much alive and prevalent in Africa and Asia. Did you know that?

So you believe that black men never had anything to do with slavery in the US. Astonishing.

Did you know that 620,000 white men gave their lives in the Civil War. Did slavery have anything to do with that war?
