Antony says that he should not, for then they would be touched by Caesars love for them. They implore him to read it.

Marco Polo describes Kublai Khan as a benevolent dictator. He wished his subjects, of whom the majority were peasants, to live a decent life. Kublai Khan was shrewd enough to express his benevolence not only as a trait of his character but as a useful principle as well. His own income depended on the destiny of the peasants. If storms, blight or locusts devastated their harvest, he would liberate them from paying taxes and give them corn both for sowing and for food. To secure himself from a period of dearth, he would store big quantities of corn when it was abundant. If a family experienced a disaster it would be given as much food and clothes as it had the previous year. Children without a family home were brought up in special institutions, and many hospitals were also built. His officials were distributing thirty five thousand dishes of rice and barley to those who needed it most. Such a policy was very distant from the Mongol scorn for the poor, and was closer to the then Chinese moral principles about help for the needy.
They believed slavery was necessary for the economy, "if no one is providing physical work for free, how are we supposed to maintain our multiple mansions?!". some also thought that black people were genetically inferior to whites, and it's only the natural order to enslave them. they didnt exactly question the dec of independence, they just interpreted it differently. pro slavery writers assumed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness only applied to them, and enslaving people was a way to fulfil these rights. it all boils down to the fact that they did not see black people as humans, rather property, animals, or investments. yikes.
