How was the idea of race used to support slavery? researchers used the biological category of race to determine which workers were best suited to grow which crops. wealthy landowners in the south created the idea of race to explain the decision to grow cash crops instead of building factories. white people used the idea of race to suggest that they were better than other groups of people and deserved to profit from their labor.
