[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 3949749, member: 65823"] Lots of theories out there to explain how the act of slavery could be justified and why it occurred. Slavery was a result of "enlightenment" ideals such as the idea of a biologically inferior race, utilitarianism and even trying to prove the moral justification for slavery.( the Bible is full of slaves ) People believed the level a person or race rises to in a society and the wealth they accumulated was determined by their genes. During this time, in an effort to justify slavery, this theory was used to promote the idea that during the seventeen hundreds the white European race was superior to others and so had the right to rule and own African people. People believed that it was the African people's duty to serve them because they were the biologically inferior race. Because of this kind of thinking, people realized how they could use the black race for the economy in the new country. The Europeans were in the process of building up a prosperous and new country. In order for this dream to be accomplished they needed to acquire many workers for the new world to be conquered , Negroes had to be purchased, as they were the only people able to withstand the toil and climate of America and would be able to work for no money. Different time, different world, different people. History. [/QUOTE]
