Hey Lit
Anyone have any good literature on the defence of slavery.

I was reading about a 19th century guy called George Fitzhugh who was so pro slavery he thought even white Americans should also be enslaved lol


Seems to be some pretty wild defences

So if you got any good recommendations let me know

>One of the wildest sects of Communists in France proposes not only to hold all property in common, but to divide the profits not according to each mans in-put and labor but according to each mans wants. Now this is precisely the system of domestic slavery with us. We provide for each slave, in old age and in infancy, in sickness and in health, not according to his labor, but according to his wants. The masters wants are most costly and refined, and he therefore gets a larger share of the profits. A Southern farm is the beau ideal of Communism; it is a joint concern, in which the slave consumes more than the master, of the coarse products, and is far happier, because although the concern may fail, he is always sure of a support; he is only transferred to another master to participate in the profits of another concern…

Explain to me how he was wrong in his socialist argument for the planter system. You can't.
