Most white southerners saw slavery as a benign institution. What evidence surfaces from the domestic slave trade that shows this conclusion is false?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
The ideal answer should:
1. Define southern white interpretations of slavery as positive for blacks in terms of support, Christian teachings, and benefits from close association to white Americans.
2. Define the domestic slave trade as a system that transferred one million slaves from the Upper South to the Deep South in the early 1800s.
3. Outline the evidence for the trade as harmful: it broke up families and marriages, and families could not stay connected across time and space.
