I thought I remember reading somewhere a long time a go that you got prestige if you abolished slavery, and that was the only way they were handling the issue.

They also said if I am correct that it offers no economic benefits, which is really stupid. The fact is that it did, which is why people did it. So you have nothing to gain by keeping it, and tons to gain by abolishing it. The fact is that it was a tough call of efficiency over humanity in real life, and it should be in the game. Also (as history has shown), when slaves are freed, it is better for the economy in the long run (in a capatalist society), because they can then start investing, making business ventures, etc. So aboloshing slavery could have a short term hard felt negative effect on your economy at first, but develop into long term increased productivity. I do not know how they will do it, but that is the way I would do it. It would be keeping things realistic (which is/should be the main goal) and giving people a choice. In my opinion (because of the nature of slavery) there is only one real answer.
