Many reasons
It was because they relied on agriculture and didn't have modern farm equipment like tractors. Cash crops like tobacco and cotton contributed to having slaves since much more money could be made off of such items to justify the expense (from a purely economic standpoint) of having slaves. So slavery helped keep the economy going, much like illegal Immigration and prison systems do today.
Of course, to justify the slavery, racism was promoted, and that in turn increased slavery. If they could think of slaves as human-like animals that were not really humans, then they could get around the moral implications and excuse their reprehensible behavior.
The north began to industrialize and move away from farming. While farming and plantations expanded greatly within the south.
Because that is where they were brought. It isn't like they decided themselves.

finding slaves
House slaves looked after the owners house and family on Southern plantations. House slaves were selected from the most well-behaved of the field slaves. House slaves cooked the meals, cleaned the house, did the laundry, and looked after the children.
