The South needed slaves as a source of manpower that was not originally present in the region. Due to the climate and geographical conditions, there were larger plantations, more crops, and much longer growing seasons. Larger and more numerous farms created the demand for cheap labor, and this was originally the reason for all slaves being brought from Africa to the Americas.
