It would be amusing to see a school essay assignment: "Was slavery actually a bad thing?"

But perhaps that would spark outrage ...

“Was slavery actually a bad thing?”......

I’d vote for that. In fact, Clevin Bundy even suggested that blacks were better off under slavery than they are today.

A more comparable assignment would ask, “Was black slavery in America a real phenomenon, or was it a hoax designed to extract sympathy and wealth from other citizens?”
