Which argument was used by southern slaveholders to justify slave labor?

Hello,  

One of the most popular excuses and arguments made by southern slave owners/holders were that “the slaves are being well taken care of”, “Colored people do not deserve the same treatment that we do”, And many, many more. Honestly I haven’t heard of one argument on the side of slavery that is remotely true nor is it fair in any way.  

I hope this answer helped what you were looking for,

abraham was promised great blessings by god, both to himself and his family, including all of his descendants. those blessings are called the abrahamic covenant.

the abrahamic covenant bible story has three main features:

1. the promised land of canaan (gen 12: 1) (gen 15: 7).

2. the promise of offspring to a 75-year-old childless abraham (genesis 12: 2) (gen 15: 4-6) (gen 17: 6-8).

3. the promise of blessings and redemption to abraham and the families of the earth through him. (genesis 12: 3).

finally, god gave abraham the rite of circumcision as the specific sign of the abrahamic covenant (genesis 17: 9–14).
