What were Washington’s arguments against the slave
system? Slavery is immoral and
undermines people of their work ethic while giving the receivers of this work
luxury and ease. Though the
majority of the slaves didn’t loathe their owners, they wanted their freedom back. They missed being able to choose and
think for themselves. The slave
system often kept them from practicing their religious beliefs and from voicing
their thoughts and concerns out loud.
Though where housing and living facilities were concerned, the slaves
were able to survive and live, not in comfort though. If there was bedding, it was often just a lump of hay or they’d
sleep with the animals in the barn if the outside was way too chilly. There was also no way of cooking food,
making Washington’s mother think of creative and not so sanitary ways of
preparing and cooking food for her children and the other slaves. Washington believed that slavery was immoral
and undermining; it brought egos up and harmony down. He rejoiced greatly when the fight for the slaves' rights was
over.
