How was slavery Justified by Americans in deep south at the time?

[SlimTrae]

The question was in regards to slavery in the deep south.
Not globally.

Well, I think you have to look at slavery throughout history to understand it. Still, I blame the British.

Why would you need to look at historical slavery to understand how it was used in the south?

Even if true, that doesn't mean one should have more to say about British, African, or Martian slavery, then about Said topic...slavery in the deep south.


How did southerners justify it?
Did they use socialism to justify it? Atheism? communism? Agnostic? Political? Religion?

And by all means no need to be brief, feel free to elaborate.
Especially anyone on this board who lives in the south.
Teach us.
