Answer:

Labor and Ignorance

Step-by-step explanation:

Long story short slavery was all over the country at one point, but mostly congregated in the south due to 1: Intensive Labor which was in high demand, and 2: ancestral ignorance and bigotry passed down thinking of Black people lesser than, which is not true at all.
