You need to stop reading “uncle Tom’s Cabin”....
Most slaves were not brutalized.

Actually Uncle Tom’s Cabin made a very good case that most slaves were not brutalized.

You animal!!!

Slavery of another human being in and of itself is brutal.

To think otherwise is inhuman.

And just where do you come up with that? Obviously not ALL of the slaves were brutalized and many became part of families, but to deny that it was completely A-OK for the whims of the master to treat them as how they saw fit and for many it was brutal-rape, beatings, separation of families, nasty living conditions. There is nothing romantic about slavery and you need to step away from the notion that it was somehow OK and the ‘majority’ weren’t treated that way. Even one more day was an injustice to the many slaves who were victims of its ugliness.
