You didn't have to pay slaves, so the cost of labor was lower.
large numbers of surplus slaves were sold from the upper South to the lower South.
According to the 1860 census:Total number of slaves in the Lower South : 2,312,352 (47% of total population).Total number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208758 (29% of total population).Total number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population).The information (which I have not checked) is here:http://civilwarcauses.org/stat.htm
Slaves represented a sizeable percentage of the population of the antebellum south. In the lower south, slaves represented 47% of the population. The total percentile in the upper south was 29%. The border states had a population of 13% of slaves against the total population.
