The thirteen colonies would not have made such an imprint on history if it wasn't for the slaves.

The development of cash crops led to a shortage in labor that was needed on large plantations. Slavery was then used because it was cheaper than indentured servitude.

There were many factors that contributed to the growth of slavery as a crucial part of the economy between 1607 and 1775 in the southern colonies. These factors included economic, geographic, and social aspects of the societies.

Between 1607 and 1775, slavery proliferated in the southern colonies due to encouragement of economic, geographic, and social factors, which created a major effect on the economy.

Between 1607 and 1775 slavery grew dramatically in the southern colonies as a result of economic, geographic, and social factors.

After slaves were introduced to the American colonies in 1619, the economic, geographic, and social factors in the Southern colonies allowed the growth of slavery, which largely separated these colonies from the others.

Between 1607 and 1775 economic, geographic, and social factorsencouraged the increase in the amount of slavery in the Southern Coloniesand the large importance of slavery on their economies. The growing importance of slavery on the economy was widely influenced by the introduction of cash crops, such as tobacco in the Southern Colonies.

Climate of the southern colonies, plantations thrived, but required massive amounts of manpower in order to function. African slaves were well adapted to the heat of the south and therefore made for a considerably more successful workforce than that made up of indentured servants. With these contributing factors, the economy of the southern colonies became heavily reliant upon cash crops and a slave-based workforce.
