How did Southern whites attempt to defend slavery?
Some whites in the South justified slavery on the basis of religion (using biblical passages such as the so-called "curse of Ham" or the passage in Philemon where Paul seemingly supports slavery) to say "God has put whites in power over blacks; therefore, slavery is OK." Others justified slavery for economic reasons: "It's cheap to use slaves' free labor; the economy will collapse if we have to pay them." Others used fallacious scientific reasons (such as "whites have bigger skulls than blacks, so slavery is OK because whites must be smarter"). Others used cultural reasons ("slavery is part of the Southern way of life"). Others were just racist ("blacks are degraded animals and inferior to us; we can do whatever we want to them"). Many used a combination of several of these reasons.
