What increased the need for slaves in the south?

The expansion of cotton plantations in the South, particularly after the invention of the cotton gin in 1793, significantly increased the demand for slaves to work in the fields. The profitability of cotton as a cash crop led to an expansion of slave labor in the region to meet the growing demand for cotton production.


Why were slaves normally children and young fit men and woman?

Children and young fit men and woman were used as slaves because then they could work for longer and more than old people. Mostly ship people used slaves to load cargo and pick it up from other ships. If slaves didnt do as they were asked, they would get wipped and beated and badly treated for refusing to do work they didnt want to do. If ship people got a edely man or woman, they wouldnt be able to do as much as yonger people. This wasnt fair because they didnt even get paid for anything...


Why did slavery increase in the southern colonies?

Slavery increased in the southern colonies due to the labor-intensive nature of cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo.

Economic incentives and a desire for cheap labor fueled the growth of slavery in the southern colonies.

Why did slavery spread in the south rather than fade away?

The southern economy was dependent on agriculture. The plantation owners used slaves to get the work done more quickly and because they didn't have to pay slaves because they are slaves. It did decline somewhat because cotton(the main staple product in the south) has seeds but picking them by hand was too slow and then the cotton would lose its value. Then slavery increased because an inventor named Eli Whitney made the cotton gin, a machine used to pick cotton seeds. Eli Whitney hoped his machine would help slavery decline but the opposite had happened. Since the cotton could have the seeds picked faster they needed more people to plant and harvest the cotton A.K.A. slaves.
