Saying Soth Carolina slavery was preferable to Jamaican slavery is like saying life under the Soviet style of communism was more humane than North Korea.
Techincally true but slavery,like communism,is a system based on tyranny.

Agreed. But the American south was still one of the very few slave societies in history where the slave population was not only self-reproducing but actually expanded its numbers.

Caribbean and Brazilian slavery was so harsh that large numbers had to be imported annually just to keep up with the death rate.
