Seeing that this question is unanswered, I guess I will give it a whack...

Anti-Slavery:

Q. How do you explain the cruelty toward the slaves?

A. Cruelty was rarely a problem, and when there was cruelty, it was a result of either punishment, lack of proper resources, (food, clothing, stuff like that), or unjustifiable violence, (which was very rare).

Q. Does not every man have Human Rights?

A. Every man has human rights, but not every man has proper skills to support himself and/or his family. Slavery supplied food, clothing, and sometimes even education and religious studies for the slaves. Thus, slavery in a way helped the slaves, and maybe even kept some alive.

Pro-Slavery:

Q. What would the U.S economy have been like if it had not been for the labor of the slaves?

A. The economy would have been much worse, slaves supplied 60% of all cotton in America, and cotton is required for the fabric industry, they also supplied a large part of produce, which fed the armies of the Civil War.

These are only a few questions that I have to both the question and answer to right now. I am only 14, so if my answers are a little off, then that is because I am still studying for a slavery debate myself. Hope this helped.
