No, the south thought of slavery as a way of life. Without slaves they thought daily life would be extremely hard and if not impossible.
I believe that this is an opinion question that only you can answer
Because that way, every one can see what the person is doing, his records, and stuff like that.
also, so that the person would not be lying to the court, they would know for sure, what and where this all happened.
Hope that this would help you!!
