Where would slavery most likely not be profitable?

Choices:

New England Colony

Virginia Colony

Slavery would most likely not be profitable in New England Colony.

Explanation:

New England is part of the northeast region of the U. S. The first steps toward industrialization were taken there because of its location near the Atlantic Coast (quick access to trade with Europe). This was the main purpose of the northern colonies and not slavery because agriculture (where slaves were used) was not their most prominent activity. The colonies from the South, such as Virginia, greatly depended on slaves working in their large plantations (such as cotton and tobacco). Also, agriculture flourished here because of the rich soil and warm weather of the South.
