Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

The south used slaves for economical reasons. When the states were just a colony, the British made sure that all the trade was benefiting them, and the states were a great place to grow cash crops, such as tobacco. This remained in America even after the revolution and kept the economy together, primarily in the south
