The Southern states ultimately benefited from the Slave Importation Compromise as their economy was heavily dependent on slavery compared to the North, and they then had the opportunity to continue using slaves for an additional 20 years. The North had no real benefit from this due to the fact they were already moving closer to the abolishment of slaves.
