Many things were used to justify slavery. One of the arguments was that without slavery the people who were slaves would be living in worse conditions. Another was that The Bible gave them permission to have slaves and that slavery had been accepted worldwide for thousands of years. Another excuse was that by making people slaves Christian souls were saved and that Northern factory workers were not as well off as slaves. That slavery was a positive good and that the slave owner could protect and guide the slaves. Finally, that the slaves were needed to do the work.

Before slavery, there were no slaves. Historically, there was slavery in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, in the Roman Empire, and much later in equatorial Africa and among Native American tribes. Slaves were conquered peoples. Arabs and later Europeans bought slaves who had been captured by opposing tribes. Slavery was abolished in Europe and the US in the 19th century, but some forms of slavery still function in some areas of the world. Institutionally, the offspring of slaves were also slaves in many cultures.
