Given the federal nature of the US, absent a major national upheaval, slavery would be going slowly, not fast. Yes, some states would have gradually been moving towards abolition (or else the slavery itself would have become rudimentary there). But vestiges of slavery could have easily stayed around well into the 20th century. After WWI sounds as a plausible abolition date in places like South Carolina, if then, in fact. Post WWII wouldn't have been impossible, I would think.
