What were some groups that support slavery in the mid-1700s

The cotton industry in the South of the United States in 1700 caused a great movement in favor of slavery. This was because the slaves represented cheap labor. Its owners benefited greatly from this process.

This was the reason why much of the southern United States defended slavery. This decision separated the country into slavery states and free states through the Mason-Dixon line, which separated Maryland and Delaware (slavers) and Pennsylvania (free).
