it was really really cheap. they used to use indentured servants which were white or black. indentured servants would work for their master for like 8 years or so, and after such time they would be free, along with theoretically land. slaves were much more efficient, since they were hard working, 100% free, and would work for you until they died
Plantations
Enslaved Africans were brought to the southern colonies to work on plantations due to a demand for labor in industries such as tobacco, rice, and indigo production. Enslaving Africans was seen as a way to meet this demand for labor and increase the profitability of these industries.

The number of enslaved Africans in Southern colonies increased in the late 1600s mostly to satisfy the need for cheap labor on plantations, especially for labor-intensive crops like rice, indigo, and tobacco. This demand for labor was driven by the profitability and expansion of the plantation system in the colonies.

The need for enslaved Africans in the Southern colonies in America stemmed from the lack of local labor at cotton plantations. Because of this, slaves became a low cost way to make the fields produce the large amounts of cotton demanded by Europe.
