Question

Why did the south need slaves but the north didn’t?

Answer 1

Answer: The south wanted slavery mainly because they wanted to be able to have workers but not have to pay them. This way the South could make more money to either buy more slaves, more land, and be able to pay their taxes. This is mainly why the Civil War started. The North didn't like how the South didn't have to pay workers and the North did. The South also depended on slavery to keep the growth of their farms, and plantations good. With out slavery the South would have been much worse.
