Yes, slaves were forced to work. Slave labor was the reason that planters could farm more land and so most became more wealthy as the years passed. However, those who did not rotate crops or manage their slaves well, did stand to lose their wealth before the Emancipation era after the Civil War. Some owned dozens or hundreds of slaves, which they purchased in various ways. Unlike indentured servants whose labor bought their passage, slaves had no way out.

Slaves weren't needed. The reasons slaves were used in the south they had large plantations that needed people to work, plant, pick cotton, and do other things. The economy between the south and the north was totally different.
I believe it was slavery because it was more popular at that time in the south to have slaves than it was in the north. The south had so many slaves because of all the large plantations.
