The South wanted slaves to count towards the population for political representation purposes. Including slaves in the population count would have increased the South's representation in the House of Representatives and therefore its political power within the government.
Slaves increased their personal support by cultivating relationships with other slaves, relying on their own skills and resourcefulness, forming networks within the slave community, and negotiating with their owners for privileges or favors.
Where Slaves in the south worked in all of the following EXCEPT gold mines.
Slaves increased their personal support by forming close relationships with other slaves, relying on their community for emotional support and solidarity, and by utilizing their skills and talents to gain favor with their owners or supervisors. They also often turned to spiritual beliefs and practices to find strength and comfort in difficult circumstances.
Slaves who gained skills, education, or relationships that made them more valuable to their owners were able to increase their personal support. Additionally, slaves who had special talents or abilities that could be monetized, such as being a skilled artisan or musician, were likely to have increased personal support from their owners.

Well, "the South provided 2/5 of the world's cotton," and the more cotton produced, the more slaves you need. Crop profit increased, which meant more slaves. In addition, the cotton gin was invented which required many more slaves as well! Hope this helps :)
It increased the need for slaves.
the machine thAT increased the demand for slaves was the cotton gin
It increased the dependancy for slaves, therefore, increasing the amount of enslaved people. I know, it's sad.
When the cotton gin was invented, slaves became incredibly valuable. This invention separated seeds from the white cottony fiber of the cotton, eliminating the need of slaves to do it. So the farmers could now grow more cotton, and to do this they needed more slaves. But at this time slave trade was abolished. So slaves became extremely expensive. From $600 to $1,800!So people started to 'breed' slaves, as a result of this.
