Because the slave owner is taking advantage of the slaves poor fortune. Why could he not pay them, you know, how everyone does today? A job? Where you aren't treated as property. Making people slaves was not the only fucking option.

You are wrong.

Whether they like being a Slave or not is totally irrelevant. Slaves are as valuable to the slave owner as a piece of furniture. They could treat them like angels, it doesn't change the fact that they are owned as property, as an object. And that is immoral.

They were servants, not slaves. They were paid. They were free to quit whenever they wanted. And they were not allowed to be beaten to within an inch of their lives. Dumbass. It is not the same at all.
