In 1760, it is estimated that there were approximately 300,000 enslaved Africans in the Southern colonies of North America. This number was part of a growing population of enslaved individuals that supported the plantation economy, particularly in states like Virginia, South Carolina, and Maryland. The reliance on slave labor was integral to the agricultural output of the region, especially in the production of tobacco and rice.

Yes, Georgia was a slave state in 1760 because it is in the south part of the state.South and North were not deciding factors for slavery. There were slave states in the North during the war.

Why did the south want slaves included in there population?

The South worried since the number of representative in the House of Representative is chosen by the size of the population per state and since slaves made a large proportion of the population in the South compared to the Whites... That without the slaves being included in the population of the Southern states they would have a much smaller number of representatives in the Congress.
