What is an example of Southerners' arguments used in defense of slavery?

One argument was that blacks were not human and therefore not able to receive the rights given to all men. They were considered property to be kept or sold at the master's whim. One book of interest is "How To Make A Slave". Interesting reading and perhaps one of the earlier forms of brainwashing.


Did some Southern slave owners defense slavery?

Slave owners would almost always defend slavery. Slaves were their workers, after all, and they needed to produce food, tobacco, and cotton (especially in the King Cotton years). Some slave owners did have it just as bad as the slaves, or owned a few, and they actually were a bit nicer to those slaves and probably didn't care much for slavery. But a vast majority of slave owners defended slavery; hence the reason for the Civil War.

What were some of the proslaverly arguments?

Some of the most common proslavery arguments included: Slavery was beneficial to the slaves providing them with a secure and stable life protection and basic needs like food clothing and shelter. Slavery provided economic stability for the slave-owning class. Slavery was a necessary evil for the continuation of the Southern economy. Slavery was a natural way of life and the slaves were better off in servitude than in a free society. Slavery was a form of punishment for people who had done wrong in the past. Slavery was a form of "divine mandate" from God.Ultimately proslavery arguments were attempts to justify the institution of slavery and to refute any moral or ethical objections to it.
