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

Slavery wasn't outlawed in certain parts of Africa until the 1990's and it still goes on today. In Rome they had more slaves than free people. England brought slaves to the colonies so it was embedded in US by the time we rebelled. Another thing we can blame the Brits for.

Slavery actually exists today in modern societies, it is just that we are in denial. For instance, the UK has Work Fare which is in essence a form of slavery. Prison populations are for profit and are full of contemporary slaves. It was easy for people to justify slavery just as it is now. It is just that you don't come out and call it slavery in the 21st century.

Aren't we, like, all just slaves, maaaaaaan? We're all, like, slaves to the "man", maaaaaan.

In an age of central banking and rampant corruption and inequality, yes we are! Who really wants to work 40 hours a week in an office. It isnt down to choice.

The government are the plantation owners and the police force and military are the whip...

It's like... "I don't wanna be a slave to you guys anymore" and they're like... "well welcome to prison".

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.
