Answer:
The geographic, economic, and social factors that impacted the growth of slavery in the southern colonies of the United States were as follows:
-On the one hand, the temperate climate of the southern colonies, from Virginia to Florida, encouraged the production of agricultural and livestock products, which needed abundant labor to be exploited efficiently.
-This made the southern colonies rely predominantly on the production of these resources as the main means of economic production.
-Thus, to efficiently exploit the resources of the south, the large landowners began to use slave labor to cultivate large amounts of land.
-This in turn was fostered by an extremely racist system, based on the presumed predominance of the white race in physical and intellectual terms.
