        Responses from historians will rarely make you feel better, but will help you understand the complexities that people without that specialization often overlook.

        Knowledge is its own reward.

      Automation means that proportionally fewer slaves can provide more. That “denies the slave’s existence as a human being” bit is rather vague. Are you saying modern slavery is not denying the slave’s existence as a human being? What does that mean?

          The way they’re viewed really isn’t the problem. Someone being imprisoned and forced to work really isn’t affected by the man with the whips opinions of them, because of they slave away they don’t get whipped. They’re existence has been stripped too bare for such distinction to make a difference. Slavery is like war and war never changes.

          How is that different from current slaves? Attitude of the general population? Doesn’t seem to make much practical difference.

              Again, that makes little to no practical difference to the slave, they’re getting abused just the same.

                Point to the time where prisoners in the U.S. were stacked up on boats and shipped across the Atlantic for months at a time.

                You don’t see prisoners treated like cargo here. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t treated well, but there are certain factors here that I don’t think you’re considering.
