Detailed explanation-1: -Slaves proved to be economical on large farms where labor-intensive cash crops, such as tobacco, sugar and rice, could be grown. By the end of the American Revolution, slavery became largely unprofitable in the North and was slowly dying out.
Detailed explanation-2: -The history and growth of slavery in colonial America was tied to the rise of land cultivation, and particularly the boom in the production of tobacco (in Virginia and Maryland) and rice (in the Carolinas).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Cotton Boom The growth of abolitionism in the North and the acceleration of slavery in the South created deep divisions between the two regions. Slavery declined in the North but became more deeply entrenched in the South, owing in part to the development of a profitable new staple crop: cotton.
