My only point is that in any circumstance, slavery is wrong. There is absolutely no justification for such a system whatsoever, and the notion that somehow northern factory owners were just as bad as southern slaveholders is specious.
Treated fairly or poorly, a slave is still being mistreated by the simple act of being a slave.
