There was more slaves in the southern colonies than in the Middle colonies and New England because they didn't think it was right to have slaves and they had mostly everything that they needed and could do it by themselves.
REKLAW
the reasons why there were most slaves in the south than middle is because the southern economy ran on slavery,the souths depended on slavery to do the work which made them richer.the southern slaves had no freedom,but the north slaves could buy their way out of slavery and can only work on weekdays.
