the white people were to lazy to do their own work so they captured African Americans(blacks) to do their work for them...

-----

It really had little to do with laziness to be honest.. it had to do with what was economically viability .. The North had a constant supply of cheap labor... (immigrates and even child labor from Europe)...

However, in the South there just wasn't enough workers to supply the needs of the large plantations..... and the system of slavery was already in placed from all the way back from the beginning of America... so it was just easier for them to continue the practice then change it..

Slavery would of most likely died out on it own as the industrial age continued to improve the farming industry...

To give one modern example to prove my point would be: Just look at how the big car industries continue to refuse to make smaller engines for their cars .... until they were force to do so... because they could no longer sell their cars... and when the bottom line started suffering American cars got more energy efficient
