Compare And Contrast Slavery And Pro-Slavery

Pro-slavery and anti-slavery were groups of advocates who both had a different perspective about slavery. The group of people that believed in slavery were mainly from the South and they were usually businessmen, traders, farmers, and slave traders. They argued that slavery was right; slavery caused a growth in the nation’s economy, it was accepted in the bible, and the slaves were better taken care of in the hands of a master. On the other hand, the Northerners thought otherwise. On their behalf, they argued that the slaves were treated poorly by their masters, it was a sin to be involved in slavery, and the Africans were unhappy because they were forced to move from their homeland. The pro-slavery authors of the articles gave support to their

He also stated that a Northerner gave immigrants low incomes for their hard work although they knew that it was insufficient for their family. The bottom line of the author 's argument was that he believed the South’s labor system was a “recognized moral obligation enters into the contract.” However, the North’s labor system was a “stern demand and supply.” He believed that society was held together by the grip of moral duties.

Their food should be cooked for them twice a day, and carried out to the field.
