There was a high demand for slave labor in the south because the southern colonies had warm climate and fertile soil which made farming it's main economy.There were longer growing seasons which made more plants and crops to be grown.This meant more slaves to work on plantations for people.
The settling of the southern colonies in America increased the demand for labor in industries such as agriculture, which led to an increase in the transatlantic slave trade to meet this demand. Slaves were brought from Africa to work on plantations and farms in the southern colonies, leading to the growth of the slave trade in the region.
The Southern colonies of the 13 American colonies were suited to large plantations that yielded cotton and tobacco. Both products were in high demand in Europe. Economy of scale created the most efficient way grow and harvest these crops. From the 1600's onward, slave traders provided the manpower required to field the plantations. They were inexpensive compared to paid American laborers, thus the demand was strong for imported slaves. The Portuguese and earlier, the Dutch dominated the slave triangle. Ships would leave Europe for West Africa with enough sought after products that could be used to buy slaves. These ships, then headed to the Western Hemisphere where the slaves were sold. In return these ships would be laden with colonial goods and farm products and sail back to Europe.
The cotton trade was the main cause for a dramatic increase in the number of slaves in English colonies. After the Industrial Revolution in Britain, there was a need for cotton. As demand increased, the number of slaves needed to plant and harvest it grew.
The Spanish used African slaves for labor in the colonies due to the high demand for workers to support industries like mining, agriculture, and construction. They believed that African slaves were better suited for the hard labor in tropical climates and were considered more economically viable due to the existing slave trade networks in Africa.
