Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Defenders of slavery believed that slavery provided a stable labor force and created a hierarchical society that ensured security for all, including non-slave owning whites. They also argued that slaves were better off in slavery than they would be if they were left to their own devices. However, these arguments have been thoroughly debunked, and slavery is now recognized as a gross violation of human rights.
