Why Slavery Is Wrong

The the two articles I read were informed about slaveholders and nonslaveholders. Both of the articles had a lot of strong opinion and good detail. They also had evidence to support their claim. It’s going to be hard for me to able to choose which side to be on because both articles I was given had good strong points on what was good about having slave and what was wrong with it. I believe “owning” someone is wrong and you shouldn't force someone to work for you.
Both article points out the good and the flaws of owning a slave. My opinion is that having a slave is wrong. Some of the flaws of it are you are treating someone completely wrong.

The white man gets mad because they have to do all this work by themselves, but when the black people were doing all the work they white man didn't complain and neither did the black people because they would get hurt really bad. I wish i could go back in time and persuade everybody to not treat different people different. People shouldn't be treated wrong just because they are different or not the same as the
