Southerners justified slavery by promoting the belief in racial superiority, arguing that African Americans were inherently inferior and suited for servitude. They claimed that slavery was a benevolent institution that provided care and civilization to enslaved people, framing it as a moral obligation. This justification was often supported by pseudoscientific theories and selective interpretations of religious texts, which portrayed slavery as a natural and necessary social order. Such beliefs were deeply entrenched in Southern society and were used to rationalize the economic benefits of slavery.
