Slavery affected the slave families in a negative manner. Most of the slaves felt like inferior beings and they were constantly mistreated by their masters.
Slave owners would almost always defend slavery. Slaves were their workers, after all, and they needed to produce food, tobacco, and cotton (especially in the King Cotton years). Some slave owners did have it just as bad as the slaves, or owned a few, and they actually were a bit nicer to those slaves and probably didn't care much for slavery. But a vast majority of slave owners defended slavery; hence the reason for the Civil War.
Slaves have no choices. That is why it is called slavery. They have no say as to what they do, when they do it, or how it is done. They are completely controlled by their masters.

Many slave owners believed it was okay to keep slaves due to economic interests, social conditioning that normalized slavery, and beliefs in white supremacy. They often justified their actions by citing social norms, biblical interpretations, and the idea that enslaved individuals were inferior and needed to be controlled.

He argues against the idea that slavery is justified by comparing the treatment of slaves to biblical principles and questioning the morality of the slave trade.

Southern pro-slavery whites argued that slavery was a necessary economic institution that was vital to the Southern way of life. They believed that slavery was justified by the Bible and that it was beneficial for both slaves and slave owners. Additionally, they argued that African Americans were inferior and better off under the care of white slave owners.
