Why do you think people feel so strongly about slavery? Try to see both points of view and give strong arguments for each side,
Igoryamba
Pro Slavery- Their thoughts- we white folks are richer and better than these poor "blacks" we should be in control of them, they can help us take care of crops and be our slaves, it will make life easier. 
Anti Slavery- it's unconstitutional, and wrong for people to treat people this way.

I am 100% against slavery i just wanted to put both sides of an argument.
