The south stopped the importation of slaves for a reason, they didn't know what to do with the ones they had.
They stopped the importation of slaves so the market wouldn't overflow and drive prices down.
Also...they realized that war with the USA was all but imminent and knew how anti-slavery potential allies such as Great Britain and France were. It was an economic as well as a political consideration.

Uh no, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia wanted to stop the flow of slaves in 1790. The northerners with a maritime economy built on transporting slaves convinced them to compromise and they agreed on 1800, this still wasn't good enough for the north and agreed again on 1808.
