Why is slavery necessary?

Slavery was not through out the colonies. The first slave did arrive in 1609 in Jamestown, but by the mid 1700's slavery had been outlawed by the northern colonies. When the cotton gin was invented this sent the rate of slavery up. The Southern planters found they needed the labor to grow more cotton. This was wrong, but it is what happened and as it became entrenched in the southern society it became a way of life for many southern colonies. For the southerners it was an economic issue that they rationalized with various sources including the bible.

Who made up the labor force on the plantations in the southern colonies?

The labor force on the plantations in the southern colonies was primarily composed of enslaved Africans who were forcibly brought to America through the transatlantic slave trade. These enslaved individuals worked in harsh conditions, cultivating cash crops such as tobacco, rice, and cotton. In addition to enslaved labor, some plantations employed a small number of indentured servants, who worked for a set period in exchange for passage to America and the promise of land or freedom. Together, these labor sources were essential to the economic success of the plantation system.
