Their climate an soil were suited to large farms
The colonies in which there was much land work to be done in order to keep a steady income. This meant that people (usually white males) who owned large farms and needed cheap labor would hire slaves in order to fill their needs for production.
because unlike the North the south didn't have the right economic system for it to have factories. The South was not industrialized like the North was, therefor it had slaves. also it had large plantations of cotton and other plants, that farmers couldn't harvest alone so they used slaves.
indentured servants
The most important reason that the slave trade thrived was economic; the shipping companies and slave dealers made money in obtaining and selling slaves, and the slave owners used slaves as a "free" labor force to earn money for themselves.
