Answer 2

Correct Answer:

The number of enslaved workers from Africa increased in the South because they were needed to grow labor-intensive crops.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the old, the American colonies were actively engaged in slave trade as a result of the benefits such as cheap labor and protection which they derived from it. This was greatly obtainable in the Southern States due to their engagement in agricultural cultivation.

Most of the crops cultivated in the Southern States were cash crop which are labor intensive hence the need for slaves. The economy of the american colonies improved greatly as can be seen in the exports of agricultural crops to England where it would be processed into finished goods before being sold to the Europeans
