slaves were used on plantations to grow and pick the cotton
Plantations, which were common in the American South and in the Caribbean. Features of these large agricultural concerns were the use of African Slave labor, monoculture (the growing of only one crop usually sold for cash, Cotton primarily in the South but also rice in the South Carolina Low Country, and of course sugar in the Caribbean) and the use of overseers and managers. The owners were usually absentee (living elsewhere) especially in the Caribbean.
The North had many factories and producing clothes etc. The South was slaves working on plantations growing cash crops like tobacco and cotton.
growing rice required much labor,so the demand for slaves increased.
The motivation of John Smith and all of the colonists at Jamestown was to make a lot of money. Originally they hoped to find gold and gems, but when that did not work out, they decided to do it by growing tobacco plantations.

Carolina rice plantations were heavily dependent on enslaved Africans, particularly those from the West African rice-growing regions. These enslaved individuals brought valuable knowledge and expertise in cultivating rice, which was essential for the success of the plantations. The labor-intensive nature of rice production required a large workforce, making slavery integral to the plantation economy in South Carolina and Georgia during the 18th and early 19th centuries. This reliance on slave labor significantly shaped the social and economic structures of the region.
