Best Answer

Master Auld inherited slaves from his wife's family and then later purchased more slaves to expand his plantation. As was common during that time period, owning slaves was seen as a sign of wealth and status. Master Auld likely maintained his ownership of slaves to increase his wealth and social standing within the community.
