Michael Shermer Quotes

The Self-deception Of Slave Owners And Proponents Of Slavery Is Well Documented By The Historians Eugene Genovese And Elizabeth Fox-Genovese In Their Book Fatal Self-Deception: Slaveholding Paternalism In The Old South. Slavery Was Not Perceived By Most Slaveholders In The Nineteenth Century To Be An Exploitation Of Humans By Other Humans For Economic Gain; Instead, Slaveholders Painted A Portrait Of Slavery As A Paternalistic And Benign Institution In Which The Slaves Themselves Were Seen As Not So Different From All Laborers - Black And White - Who Toiled Everywhere In Both Free And Slave States; Further, The South's "Christian Slavery" Was Claimed To Be Superior.
