History
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago

Answer:

b. southern plantation owners needed more labor at lower costs

Explanation:

The slavery in the American companies developed because of the lack of labor force for the large plantations in the South that were making most of the profit for the colonies. Initially, the European settlers wanted to use the native people as a labor force, but because they spread diseases among them, the majority of the native population died out. This led to searching of an alternative for large and cheap labor force, and the Portuguese made the first step in it. After the other colonial powers understood about the possibility of getting slaves from Africa, they rushed to buy loads of them, including the British Empire. This resulted in a forceful movement of African people to the New World where they were used as slaves, a cheap and efficient labor force for the large plantations in the southern colonies.

What was an argument used to try to justify slavery?
saul85 [17]
Answer:

The southern economy hugely depended on the use of slavery.

Explanation:

One important argument the South saw reasonable and justifiable to not abolish slavery was its dependence for the growth of its economy. In other words, the South's economy was maintained due to the work of the enslaved.

The South's economy was agriculturally based. They did not have factories and large businesses like the North did. They relied on farms and the growing of crops. There were many farms and plantations with too many crops to harvest for the owner, and that's when slavery came in. Not only did Slaves work on farms and plantations, they did manual labor including construction.

Because the southern economy was heavily dependent on slavery, southern slaveholders fought hard to keep slaves. This argument was probably the most reasonable reason to keep slavery made by the South, although it is just as cruel as any other reason for servitude.

To summarize: the South's economy would not survive without slavery, and southern citizens would not make as much money without them.
