    I could see arguments either way. But slavery has numbers and sheer length of time.

      yeah there is a lot of variables. Im kinda more pissed off if you keep me in horrid conditions and for me to work by force of pain than kill me painlessly but if I had a lot of rights and was taken pretty good care of vs being killed slowly and painfully. When it comes down to it I don’t want any of those scenarios. I mean maybe the quick and painless death in some scenarios of life.
