There was a high demand for slave labor in the south because the southern colonies had warm climate and fertile soil which made farming it's main economy.There were longer growing seasons which made more plants and crops to be grown.This meant more slaves to work on plantations for people.
growing rice required much labor,so the demand for slaves increased.
new england(top), central(middle), and southern(bottom) I think...
labor
There was a high demand for ships during this time, and in the southern colonies, farmers and plantation workers ruled. The New England colonies were more inclined to export lumber for ships because they had poor soil and hilly, rocky land, leaving no room for agriculture, and had to make up for this by exporting goods and having bustling commercial centers (cities) since they had no cash crops.
slaves in high demand were in southern colonies because of cotton feilds , and long hours of hard work, which made good amounts of money if they didnt pay for labor. hope this helpss!(:
Because there they needed cheap labour.

The Southern colonies of the 13 American colonies were suited to large plantations that yielded cotton and tobacco. Both products were in high demand in Europe. Economy of scale created the most efficient way grow and harvest these crops. From the 1600's onward, slave traders provided the manpower required to field the plantations. They were inexpensive compared to paid American laborers, thus the demand was strong for imported slaves. The Portuguese and earlier, the Dutch dominated the slave triangle. Ships would leave Europe for West Africa with enough sought after products that could be used to buy slaves. These ships, then headed to the Western Hemisphere where the slaves were sold. In return these ships would be laden with colonial goods and farm products and sail back to Europe.
The southern colonies had a labor-intensive agricultural economy, particularly in crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo. Enslaved labor was seen as a profitable way to meet the high demand for labor in large agricultural operations. Additionally, the climate and soil in the South were conducive to growing labor-intensive crops, making slave labor more economically viable.
Slaves were in high demand in South Carolina due to the labor-intensive nature of rice and indigo cultivation. The hot and humid climate made it difficult for European indentured servants to work in the plantations, leading to a heavier reliance on enslaved labor from Africa. The profitability of these cash crops fueled the demand for slave labor in the region.
Rice farming was labor-intensive and required skilled workers, leading to a high demand for slaves who had the necessary expertise. The profit potential in rice cultivation incentivized planters to invest in acquiring enslaved laborers. Slaves were seen as a cost-effective solution to meet the labor demands of rice production in the southern colonies.
it wazs very high.
