The United States had a very small population base in its early history. The South was a largely agrarian economy, and farming was a very labor intensive undertaking. There were simply not enough hands to do the work. Southern plantation owners justified slavery because they had to fill the labor shortage *somehow*. While many European countries the South traded with gave up slavery at least 100 years before the Civil War, they had no problem accepting the goods they knew were the productis of slavery from the Southern US. Specifically raw cotton and spun cotton cloth which they needed to make clothing. Also it should be noted, did the Northern US.
