Slave Owners became breeders of slaves. Slaves from one plantation were sold to other plantains.

Explanation:

The children of slaves were sold to other plantains usually further south. Families were broken up. Slaves were treated like animals, being breed and sold, like cattle or horses.

The natural reproduction of the slaves provided the population of new slaves needed for the slave trade within the United States.
