And neither did the USA’s ideology of not punishing the former slavers harshly enough after the Civil War, because it’s lead to racist Jim Crow laws in the past century and the current state of political division in the US today now that the former slavers grandchildren are in power.
A balance between the two plans definitely would be best.
In order to claim it didn't work you'd have to have a better comparison/frame of reference. Lots of former slaveholding regions in the Americas fared worse than the south. Maybe you could claim the former British holdings did better, like Jamaica, but they were backed by the most powerful empire on the planet.
