How did English slave owners justify slavery?

England was technologically more advanced than Africa at the time Africans were being enslaved by the English, which was taken as evidence of English racial superiority. It seemed reasonable that superior races should control and be served by inferior races. From our present perspective we can see that even though one culture may advance technologically beyond another, this has to do with many kinds of historical accidents, rather than being a measurement of the capabilities of any ethnicity.


How does the slave auction work?

In a slave auction, enslaved people are put up for bidding by auctioneers, and the highest bidder wins the right to purchase the enslaved person.

These auctions were a brutal and inhumane practice that occurred during the transatlantic slave trade and other historical periods of slavery.

What did justice say about the dred Scott case?

The Supreme Court basically said that the entire USA, (before the Civil War), was a slave nation. That there were no slave states, or free states. The entire country was a slave nation and anyone could have slaves in any state they wanted to. One of the Supreme Court Justices even said that a black people in the USA had no rights and that white people could do anything they wanted to to black people. Dred Scott, a slave who was taken to Wisconsin (a "free" state) was still a slave, and it did not matter where his owner took him to.

any one caught helping black people during slavery were jailed or killed by law. Not all white people were slave owners back then. MANY white people tried helping blacks escape. especially white girls, white girls are more kinder and giving then white males. so white women would occasionaly help a slave read,write and possibly escape. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above is true. Actually, only one Southern family in four owned slaves, mostly rich plantation owners. Before the war, Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson ran a school in violation of Virginia law to educate blacks and those of mixed black-white parentage.

What were the consequence?

The consequences of being a slave could be, being taken away from your family at any time. Then can be taken to a different place to farm. You could also be captured or sold at any time. A consequence and/or punishment would be that if you "misbehave" or make your slave owner mad, you can be whipped or beaten. some slaves turn out somewhat lucky because they are with a nicer slave owner that doesn't work them as hard, or gives them a little easier jobs.


How did the Fugitive Slave Law satisfy slaveholders?

From what I understand, it was made for them. It said that any slave who escaped, no matter what state, if found, they would be taken back to their master. Now, I may be thinking of something else, but, that's my take on it.
