It wasn't profitable in the Southern States for centuries. The USA didn't even exist for a century before a war was fought to keep the South from leaving the union and ending slavery.
Any slavery that happened before America existed is irrelevant because it wasn't considered unethical back then. A slave was considered to be livestock, not a person.
