How miserable were slaves lives?

Aside from being property, having most aspects of their lives controlled, and very few examples of physical abuse, American slaves in the south generally had standards of living higher than 80% of whites in the same areas. Keep in mind that slaves were a necessary component for life, industry, and agriculture in the southern states. To purchase one was comparable to buying a new car or house today. For the most part, slave owners were farmers. As it would not be conducive to good business practice today to abuse or mistreat working livestock, or to damage farm machinery, it is ridiculous to consider that slaves were mistreated. This is largely a myth that has bee perpetrated from a small number of sources, largely in an attempt to end the practice of slavery; it represents propaganda.

Why did many freed slaves remain on the farm where they had worked as slaves?

Many freed slaves remained on the farms where they had worked as slaves for several reasons: Some masters asked (or demanded) that the newly free slaves stay on the master's property, offering a house and wages. However, by the time the master was done charging the freed slaves for rent and supplies, they received no wages and could not afford to move to another place. Some slaves were not told that they were free. Many freed slaves did not know how to live as free men and women. They would try it for awhile and then return to their former masters. Others stayed with their masters because the master had been good to them and continued to treat them well after emancipation.

How did the southerners justify slavery?

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.
