Abolishing slavery would have affected the households of the rich and mining. Rich households had many slaves who did domestic and other jobs for them. Miners were slaves because this job was considered a death sentence. It would not have had a significant effect on agricultural production (the mainstay of the economy).
Slaves in antiquity were enslaved war captives. When Rome fought wars of expansion she captured and enslaved many captives. Most of them were bought by the owners of large landed estates to work in their field. However: a) they also employed local seasonal agricultural labourers, b) most of the slaves went to Italy and many areas of the Roman Empire did not have slaves, including Egypt, which was the breadbasket of the empire.
When Rome's imperial expansion stopped, the supply of slaves dwindled as there were no longer war captives. The large landlords came to rely more on local peasants who were hired as labourers or were tenants who paid a rent for their plots of land.

How did slavery weaken the roman republic?
Slavery never weakened the Roman republic or any other form of government. Do not be misled into thinking that ancient slavery was the same as modern slavery. Every society in the ancient world had a system of slavery which was vital to their culture. The ancients considered slavery a social class or more correctly, a social underclass. The physical strength, mental abilities and expertise in the sciences, such as medicine and architecture helped built the great empires and civilizations. The Romans appreciated the abilities of their slaves and for the most part treated them well with every slave having the opportunity to either buy or be granted freedom if they chose. It is a mistake to judge ancient slavery by our present day standards or to impose our present day mores on the ancients.

Why was slavery the basis of roman society?
Slavery was not the basis of Roman society; for sure, it was an integral part of the economy, and the entire social system; however, it clearly was not the BASIS of Roman society, at any determinable period of the Roman Empire.The notion that slavery was the basis for the entire system is a good collection of catchwords, and notions, but it beggars the question of a really impressive society to which Western Civilisation owes a bunch.It's an easy school question which just misses the point of the last several thousand years. No problem; school teachers are overworked, and questions about Western Civilization don't always get remembered exactly.Slavery was a very important part of the culture; the role of women was a very important part of the culture; putting wine in lead containers was a very important part of the culture.
