Because of the agriculture based economy in the south. Plantations couldn't develope in the north because of the poorer soil quality and shorter harvest seasons in the North-- luckily for the north, they had embraced a market (capitalist) economy so they had factories to rely on. The south had richer soil and a longer, more ideal harvest season. Because there were fewer factories, there was plenty of land. Plantations began to spread as a result and slavery boomed in the south.
