They had a whole list of reasons. Some were; Slavery was in the Bible, slaves were happier as slaves, slaves had food and a place to live otherwise they wouldn't have that. These things, of course, are excuses, but it is what they used to rationalize slavery.

Southerners argued that ending the slave trade would devalue their existing slaves and harm their economy, as they relied heavily on slave labor for their agricultural operations. They also believed that the federal government should not interfere with their states' rights to govern their own affairs, including the use of slavery.
