What differing views did Americans have of slavery

Some people thought slavery was wrong. others thought that it was what god intended and that they were better than African americans. northeners mainly were against slavery. southeners had many fields and plantations that needed workers, so they thought slavery was good and cheap.

Most white Americans thought it was totally fine to slave and hurt black or African american people. some people thought that it was cruel but there were very few whites who thought that ... yet the people who suffered most were the slaves themselves. the slaves of course thought it was terrible and cruel.
