Slavery is very, very wrong in many ways. Its like forcing someone to so something uncalled for and is mean.People used to force africans/blacks and such to do heavy, hard, and difficult work. They bought slaves like they were animals and gave them almost nothing. If you need more information, look on history sites. Or how Abraham Lincoln stop that nonsense.Hope this helps.

Was slavery a necessary evil?
You mean slavery in general, or the enslavement of black persons in America before about 1850? Slavery is not currently considered ethical. Some argue that without the enslavement of black persons, America would not have been able to establish it self as quickly as a self-reliant nation. Slavery is means to an end. Just like paying workers minimum wages, which they can just barely scrape by on, but which also makes a big business man wealthy, is a means to an end. Nothing is really evil, nor is it really necessary if you twist your veiw point enough.
