The economic situation of the South was almost totally dependent on its position as cotton producer and exporter. While the North had no trouble finding (white) workers and immigrants for their many and varied industrial and other enterprises, the South could find no voluntary takers for the dull and backbreaking work under a hot sun on the cotton plantations.
Moreover, since a large number of plantation workers were needed, it was feared that having to pay all of them a good salary - even IF the plantation owners could have found voluntary labor - would have raised the price of American cotton to a level where it could no longer be competitive with Egyptian and Indian cotton.
All the other reasons given - from biblical to historical reasons - were mere window-dressing to support the fact that the South's economy simply depended on slave labor.
The term "Carpet Bagger" was derived from the Northerners who came into the South after the Civil War during the Reconstruction era, believed to have come to the South for private profits. While "scalawag" was a negative term used against White Southerners by other White Southerners, stating they are in support of Reconstruction for private gain.

They had a whole list of reasons. Some were; Slavery was in the Bible, slaves were happier as slaves, slaves had food and a place to live otherwise they wouldn't have that. These things, of course, are excuses, but it is what they used to rationalize slavery.
Southerners argued that ending the slave trade would devalue their existing slaves and harm their economy, as they relied heavily on slave labor for their agricultural operations. They also believed that the federal government should not interfere with their states' rights to govern their own affairs, including the use of slavery.

They thought that granting popular sovereignty would allow slavery
Many non-slaveholding Southerners supported slavery due to economic and social reasons. They believed that the institution of slavery was necessary for the Southern economy to thrive, and they also saw it as a way to maintain social order and hierarchy in their communities. Additionally, cultural and racial beliefs played a role in shaping their views on slavery.
