Why did more enslaved Africans live in South America than did white settlers?

in south america, the staple crop was sugar. this required a LOT of work to grow. They would import slaves from africa to do the work for free. unloike north america, the slaves usually only lived for about 7 years until they were worked to death so they had to import more. this caused the population of africans to increase and become larger than the population of white settlers.This is simply because of the Mason Dixie Line. During the Civil War, South Carolina permitted slavery as a southern state. Therefore more slaves lived there.SC was a rural state with many large plantations which used slave labor to operate. They were run by only a few white settlers, so there were more black people than white.
