There was more tobacco and cash crop overall, so the needed more labor to keep up with the amount of work that needed to be done.
The southern states had more farms and on the farms worked slaves and the farmers made money off of selling the slaves and the slave's labor.
slave labor was more important
The Virginia colony turned to African slave labor primarily due to a shortage of cheap labor after the failure of indentured servitude as a sustainable source. African slaves were seen as a more reliable and long-term labor force for the increasing demand for labor-intensive crops like tobacco. Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade provided a steady supply of enslaved individuals to meet the colony's labor needs.
Protective tariffs. Apex :)
slave owners didnt have to pay for labor so they made far more money.
because the north was more reliant on machine work than slave labor because the north was more industrial than it was agricultural
slave trade increased because people in south started growing lots of tobacco, the people in the south had large plantations but not enough workers so when people started shipping slave to the new world, the farmers wanted more and more slaves. Thats why the south had more slaves than the northern colonies
The Confederate States of America or if you're being more specific, West Virginia.

The Cotton Gin The Cotton Gin was so popular that people started getting them. The invention required more people to pick more cotton, so farmers bought even more slaves to pick the cotton.
the plantation owners wanted more labor, thus bringing in more slaves because the plantation owners wanted free labor, so they can earn more money
