we had an argument about slavery and whether it was good or bad.
to me i always thought slavery was good. instead of farming the fields the family could spend more quality time with each other. it also gave Africans the opportunity to learn a trade and make a new beginning.
i need another opinion on this....

Great, get to work then.
Someone get TH89 in here.
Also, OP, you happen to have the viewpoint of the average missionary who considered stealing the land and destroying the culture of the native Americans to be an act of altruism.

If made to choose between living a happy life as an indigenous tribesman or being forced to live in a strange land with mysterious white apes I think I would choose the former.

Valid point, sir.
So you feel there's nothing wrong with someone owning another human being and being able to work them and work them to death?
And it wasn't an "opportunity" you twit.

no im saying that there was some good to owning slaves, but for some odd reason everyone over looks the good and goes straight to the bad
