Correct. And their children, their grand children and their great grand Children would be born slaves. With no future and no hope, other than serving the master. Perpetual chattel property, just like horses, dogs and sheep. It it was a benevolent life, why didn’t whites volunteer to be slaves.
They did, but only for ten hours a day or so. Then they had to find their own food, clothing, and shelter. Read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.
I would much rather have been Thomas Jefferson's slave than a coal miner in west Virginia.
