Certainly not for those enslaved. It should be remembered that slavery still exists today

It made economic sense for those that enslaved people.

Morally it was and remains indefensible.

Why slavery was good?

Economically, slavery was a boon to many. First, African tribesmen captured other blacks and sold them to European slave traders. The capturers benefited financially from these transactions by receiving gold, silver, weapons, etc... The slave traders loaded up shiploads of slaves and sold them to slave owners, receiving money in return. The slave owners benefited from slave labor for the life of the slave without having to pay a salary.
