Anytime.
Can you help me with this one too?
Why was slave labor so important to the economy of the Southern colonies? Slaves provided much of the labor on plantations that grew cash crops. Slaves provided much of the labor for Southern industries such as ironworking. Subsistence farmers struggled to grow enough food without the help of slaves. The slave trade was the most profitable industry in the region.
In the south they had large farms called Plantations. The cotton industry spread and people needed help working but there weren't enough people to go around, so they started bringing in Africans to work as slaves. Slavery was encouraged by racism... I think A.
Thank you guys!!
You just repeated my answer @Nurali. lol
I agree plantations were very large in the south so they couldn't be tended to with only one family. Slaves provided labor for the large plantations so without them large profitable plantations wouldn't be able to run, thus leading to a much lower production. Keep in mind that not every plantation abused their slaves, some even treated their slaves as family!
