why was slavery important to texas and other southern states

Sagot :

The southern states were good land for farming what people call "cash crops."  Cash crops are crops that make a lot of money because of the high demand.  Crops like cotton and tobacco were grown on very large plantations.  The plantations needed many slaves to handle all of the crops that had to be grown.  The reason they used slaves is because there was a one time fee, instead of paying workers.
