Why do you think certain parts of the south had large numbers of slaves, while other parts did not?

The south used more slaves because it was cheaper than paying for farm hands and house servants. But the north was mainly industrial and didn't have a need for slaves since they preferred to provide jobs in shipyards and factories.
