Planters in the South became increasingly dependent on slave labor due to the high profitability of cash crops like cotton and tobacco, which required intensive labor for cultivation and harvesting. The invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century further accelerated this demand, making cotton cultivation more efficient and profitable. Additionally, the expansion of plantation agriculture and the need for a stable, controlled workforce led to a reliance on the institution of slavery, as it provided a consistent and economically advantageous labor source for the growing agricultural economy.
Many plantation owners in the South moved toward a one crop economy (cotton) and needed a cheaper labor source than the Northern idea of white labor.
Being a plantation owner was their profession. Nobody retired to become a plantation owner unless the came across a great deal of money as a plantation cost a lot to include a house and land as well as slaves. Most southerners didn't have slaves.
