Not all historians would agree that slavery was a "necessary" evil.
In colonial America, slavery was a cheaper option was to running plantations than hiring laborers.
Slaves weren't usually (if ever) paid for work, they often lived in broken-down buildings, their food was not high-quality.... etc.
So I guess the shortest answer to this question would be:
slavery was probably the cheapest and easiest way to run a plantation or farm.

Why was the south for slavery?
Slavery had become entrenched in the South due to their agricultural economy. The way things were set up, slavery was necessary for the way of life that had developed there. There was no painless way to end the practice even as moral objections arose over it.
