Why did British colonies in the South have the greatest number of enslaved people? A
The leadership of the North needed more workers, so the South created a market for trading enslaved people from the South.

B
The leadership in the South wanted to increase the amount of money made in the state, so they enslaved the entire population to work on the plantations.

C
An increase in the number of plantations in the South resulted in the need for more labor to work on the plantations.

D
A decrease in the number of plantations led to private farms needing more labor to produce enough food for the South.
