They 100% would be making that argument during the time period(ignoring for a minute that the US still has slavery anyway). Heck, they still do, I grew up going to a school where our teachers seriously argued that the slaves were better off as slaves, with a much higher quality of life.

A few highlights I remember were them saying "slaves were usually never beaten because that would affect their ability to work" and "it gave structure to their life". Also "most slave owners were good people who were friends with their slaves".

My teacher said "At least they got food and housing."

Meanwhile the South dismantles POC's ability to get food and housing.
