Slavery was used primarily for economic reasons, as enslaved individuals provided a cheap and abundant labor force that significantly boosted agricultural production, particularly in cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Additionally, the dehumanization of enslaved people allowed slaveholders to justify their exploitation, viewing them as property rather than human beings. Lastly, the social and political structures of the time reinforced slavery, with laws and norms that protected the institution and maintained power dynamics favorable to slave owners.
