Answer 1

Factors affecting slavery in the United States that encouraged enslaved revolts were:

• Suppression of freedom for enslaved people.
• Brutal treatment of enslaved people.

Factors that encouraged slavery were:

• The need for a cheap labor force in the South.
• The need by many Southerners to feel above African Americans.

What were some factors affecting slavery in the U.S.?

Slavery in the United States continued because the South needed a cheap labor force to engage in the labor-intensive cash crop business.

Some people like the Yeomen farmers, also wanted to feel a sense of superiority over people to feel better about themselves and their poor way of life.

Enslaved revolts broke out because enslaved people were subjected to brutal conditions which they were trying to escape such as beatings, mutilations, and inhumane working hours and conditions.
