Slavery was mainly in the South due to the region's agricultural economy, which heavily relied on labor-intensive cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and rice. The warm climate and fertile soil made the South ideal for plantation farming, necessitating a large workforce that enslaved individuals provided. Additionally, the social and political structures in the South favored the continuation of slavery, with many Southern states enacting laws that protected and promoted the institution. In contrast, the North's economy was more industrialized and less dependent on agriculture, leading to different social attitudes towards slavery.
