Proslavery is support for slavery. These thoughts can already be found in ancient religious texts. There were also philosophers in classical antiquity who supported these ideas. They can also be found in British and American writings, especially before the American Civil War. Jack Kershaw, who served as an attorney for James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., is famous for saying "Somebody needs to say a good word for slavery."[1][2]
In general, the arguments in favor of slavery include:
- There is a text in a religious writing (often the Bible) that supports the idea.
- Some people are natural slaves, they need to be supervised
- A slave is better off than the poorest non-slave
- Society as a whole benefits if there are slaves.
- Slavery works well, this has been shown by many great civilisations that used it.
