At one point in time the cotton industry was really big and so white Americans all wanted a part of it. To produce cotton you needed to own a plantation and have workers to pick the cotton. Most of the plantation owners did not want to pay their workers and since it wasn't illegal they thought it easier just to "buy" slaves to do the work for them.
