Best Answer

Most slaves were owned by plantation owners. Plantations were very large and needed more people to work on it so that the owners could get rich quick. Also, during the cotton boom, a lot of plantation owners needed more workers to get cotton ready for sale. Slaves didn't have to be paid, just bought.
