Compare the Factory system in the North to the Slavery system in the South?

The South had its one big commodity, cotton, which needed massed field-hands who had no need of skills or qualifications. It was suited to slavery.
The North depended heavily on the factory system, which could not use many unskilled hands, but needed skilled, qualified, mobile labour. For that reason,
slavery had died out in the North.

Why did slavery expand over the south rather then the north?
Slavery was especially suited to the cotton trade, which dominated the South - a feudal system in a rural society. The North was increasingly industrialised, and factory managers couldn't use massed ranks of unskilled labourers. They wanted skilled men and women, on the basis of free mobile labour.
What explains the birth of slavery in the South?
There had been slavery in both North and South. In the North, it died out because it did not suit the factory system. In the South, it would have died out too, but the sudden growth of the cotton trade (following the invention of the cotton-gin) gave the planters a big incentive to import and breed more slaves to work the plantations.
