QUESTION 16

The reason slavery flourished in the Southern English colonies and not in New England is

"most New England farms were too small for slaves to be economically necessary or viable, whereas in the South the cultivation of staple crops such as rice and tobacco on large plantations necessitated the use of large numbers of indentured servants or slaves"

blacks from the tropical climate of Africa could not adapt to the harsh New England winters. Their high death rates made their use as slave laborers unprofitable.

a shortage of females in the Southern English colonies led to many female black Africans being imported as slaves and as potential wives for white planters in the region

"whereas New England religious groups such as the Puritans forbade slavery on moral grounds, the Anglican church which dominated the southern colonies encouraged the belief that blacks were inferior, thus not deserving of equality"
