Slavery is terrible for slaves.


Slavery is good for slave owners.

Slavery corrupts slaveholders.


The institution of slavery is necessary:• It reflects the natural

racial order.• Slavery brings the

civilizing influence of Christianity to Africans, who would otherwise be uncivilized and immoral.

• Slavery creates an orderly society.

The institution of slavery is abhorrent, and the arguments people make about its important in creating a well-ordered and civilized society are incorrect.
