After the American Revolution prices went down on tabacco, rice, and indigo. Less slavery was necessary because the farmers were not making a profit off their crops.
Slavery had been on the decline before the invention of the cotton gin due to factors like the weakening of the transatlantic slave trade, economic shifts, and growing abolitionist sentiments in the late 18th century. However, the invention of the cotton gin in 1793 dramatically increased the profitability of cotton production, leading to a resurgence in the demand for slave labor in the Southern United States. This innovation made it easier to process cotton, which in turn fueled the expansion of slavery and solidified its role in the Southern economy, ultimately entrenching the institution further until the Civil War.

Before the invention of the cotton gin, slavery was on the decline due to a shift in agricultural practices and a decrease in the profitability of tobacco, which had been the primary cash crop in the South. However, the cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney in 1793, revolutionized cotton production by making it easier to separate cotton fibers from seeds, leading to a dramatic increase in cotton cultivation. This resurgence in cotton farming significantly boosted the demand for slave labor, as plantations expanded and required more workers to meet the growing needs of the textile industry. Consequently, slavery became more entrenched in the Southern economy, solidifying its role in the region’s agricultural practices.
the south have no profits and someone needs to pick the cotton
yes theres always been slavery it might not have been the same as before but slavery is slavery in fact theres still slavery today in some parts of the world

Cotton production could not have been done profitably without slavery.

They had slavery because of greed on the part of American landowners. Their large plantations, particularly cotton, would not have been possible with paid labour.
Slavery had of course been a persistent and contradictory issue since the framing of the US Constitution, having been awkwardly written into it through numerous compromises. The reason 'why' was economic development. Without slavery, the agrarian culture of the southern states would have died out long before 1860. It's commonly taught in early grade school that cotton was king in the south at that time. But slavery was actually on the way out because of the economic forces associated with harvesting cotton---it was hand labor, it was slow and it was losing its profitability. Then at the turn of the 19th century, the Cotton Gin was invented which effectively increased the output efficiency of southern cotton causing the institution of southern slavery to rebound dramatically. Between 1830 to 1850 the output of cotton rose by a factor of 4 using the same slave labor base.
It presupposes that an immigrant would choose to locate himself in a slave state where he would have to compete with 'free' slave labor.
Slavery has been with us sin before recorded history. It is still with us today
