Some did. The slavers bought slaves in Africa and other areas, and brought them to the South to sell at a profit. Some were valued for their physical strength, and some were bought to provide offspring: children born to slaves became the property of their owners as well. However, children were expensive and time-consuming to care for until they were old enough to work on their own, so not all slaves were allowed to have children.

it costs a lot of money because slave owners had to pay for accommodations so that the slave was intact conditions and that they were going up for a lot of money. also they had to pay for equipment so that slaves can work on a field or plantation. if a slave died they had to buy a new slave which would cost a lot of money which wasn't worth it
Why were slaves worth a lot of money?
Slaves were worth a lot of money because they can do a lot of work and many people wanted slaves to work under them, so slave trade increased and as that increased trade with Muslim merchants increased!!! AMAZING!!! If they (slaves) were in Africa, they were lucky because they had a little chance to escape to liberty. They had to work hard or marry a free person to be exposed to liberty!!!
