Slaves were considered property and they were told what they were going to do. If they didn't they were abused in any number of ways. They had no rights, were not citizens, and were owned by the man who bought them. The largest slave market was in Charleston South Carolina and children born to a slave were also slaves. The plantation system required vast amounts of workers for the crops and the upkeep of the lifestyle of the plantation owner. Slavery was the answer for them and many excuses were made why it was good for the slave. After the civil war and the suspension of reconstruction in 1870 Jim Crow laws were passed to keep former slaves from schools, housing, owning land, and made overt discrimination legal. It will take another 100 years to make new laws to combat discrimination.

Slaves weren't needed. The reasons slaves were used in the south they had large plantations that needed people to work, plant, pick cotton, and do other things. The economy between the south and the north was totally different.

True. In the southern United States, most slaves were forced to work on large plantations, where they were subjected to harsh living and working conditions. This system of forced labor was a central aspect of the antebellum South's economy and society.

The large farms in the south were called plantations. Many had slaves working on them.
The planter group (those who held 20 or more slaves) made up under 4% of the adult white men in the south, held more than 1/2 of the slaves and produced most of the cotton and tobacco and all of the sugar and rice, thus most slaves lived on large plantations.
Very few large plantations that needed a large number of workers.

I believe it was slavery because it was more popular at that time in the south to have slaves than it was in the north. The south had so many slaves because of all the large plantations.
