The Southern Colonies was a concentration of farming area. The plantation owners needed people to work the field during the day. It just so happened that African Americans were in abundance due to the Triangle Trade & the Middle Passage. The white masters of the south decided to use enslaved African Americans as their main workforce, especially since they were cheap workers and did not require payment.
