Because of the agricultural crops grown there, AND the fact that machinery had not yet been invented, the only economical way to plant, raise, and harvest the massive amounts of the crops was by use of slave labor. In point of fact, although not as great in number, slaves and slavery also existed in the so-called Northern states as well.
if you mean farmers then that was because the south thought they were better that African American and because they were lazy and didn't want to work or pay money to people to work so they hired slaves
Because it didn't prohibit it. The constitution is (intentionally) very limited in scope: it establishes the powers of the federal government and basically says "everything else is up to the states".
Well back then many white men believed that black men were inferior to the white men. Also slavery had been in The Bible so many believed it was allowed within the religion of Christianity (most popular religion at the time). Later when cotton became a crop with a high demand many southern farmers needed more laborers. They saw slaves as a cheaper source of workers so that the plantations that they worked on would produce more cotton. Because the southerners used slaves as workers and depended on them for the production of vast amounts of crops the southern economy became dependent on slavery. That was a main reason the south wanted to succeed from the Union because they thought if slavery was abolished their economies and way of living would collapse. This though of succession led to the American Civil War.
The southern states didn't necessarily want slaves. They couldn't do all the work on the farms or plantations. They needed them for agriculture mostly.
Because at the time, slavery helped the country to grow economically and they needed to grow the economy because they had recently suffered from wars.
