Which of these best explains the reason for african slaves being brought into the british colonies in southern north america in the 17th century? a) the economy of southern colonies needed non-wage labor. b) northern colonial governments considered slavery immoral. c) southern colonies refused to use indians as forced labor. d) industrial factories in the north did not need slave labor.

The correct answer is A. The economy of Southern colonies needed non-wage labor

Explanation:

During the 17th century the economy in the Southern Colonies of North America was based on agriculture, products such as tobacco or cotton were produced in plantations, the bigger the plantation was the more workforce it was required, because of the this the economy of the South depended on slavery as slaves did not receive any payment and thus colonizers get all the profit from it. On the other hand, the cold weather and conditions of soil in the North were not good to develop plantations, because of this the economy of the North was based on trade and manufacturing.  Due to this, the Southern colonies needed slaves considering they depended on plantations which required non-wage labor to be profitable.
