now, i have read some of the first few comments given here. and i must say i am dissappointed in most of you. that shayx did miss the point somewhat and i agree with resa a little. HOWEVER! Shayx to touch a point that people cannot have so much supperiority over another. Because the lasst time I checked God loves all his creatures! if there were white, black, yellow, brown, etc.. and for someone to say that there should still be slavery in our world that proves ignoance !!! we all have fought for our ights even white people, and that is also how we ALL made it through the great depressiom. Most people came to america to have better lives INCLUDING THE “SUPERIOR”. from rags to riches that also goes for slavery and for you to also mention that slaves could not live without masters that is an arogant comment. In fact most of the inventions today were made by people whose anscestorsz were slave. a black man created the air conditioning! A black man created the elevator that carries those fat ignorant people who think they are better than others. i am only 17 and i apparently know more than most of you! God Bless!

Jasmine,

Your assessment is very true concerning most non-Western countries where poverty is quite rampant and the norm.

I assume here that you are speaking of the current physical slavery as practiced in some countries. I would say that slaveholders generally provide adequate enough clothing and food for their slaves in order to keep them healthy enough to perform the slave work that they require. It would not be in the general interest of a slaveholder to deprive most of their slaves of necessities as it would affect the slaveholder’s bottom line. This is relative to the general conditions in which they live in.

Of course not all slaveholders are rational that way, but in general, it makes sense that they would in order to benefit from having slaves. It is of no benefit if you continually kill off your slaves considering the hardships needed to obtain replacement slaves in today’s modern world.

And also, a majority of modern day slaves are not “sufficiently well fed, clothed, [and] housed.” or even come close to such luxuries.

To whom it may concern,

George Washington DID NOT own slaves while in presidency! He lived in Virginia for god’s sake. The most obvious reason, slavery was illegal in his state! He employed (not owned) his servants, but did not own slaves of unwilling servitude.
