Slavery developed in the South because the ground was for farming. Soil was very good for farming unlike many places in the North. Since farming was very good to do they needed a laborers. Slaves had to come to farm.

people became indentured servants, which are servants that volunteer to work for seven years for free passage contract labor. soon they had slaves and the slaves became to work for them for life so the indentured slaves weren't needed anymore and the slaves became very valuable to the slave owners
