Doesn't prove that all slaves, or even the majority of slaves, were subjected to the form of cruelty in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

No, you're probably right. I'm sure that most of them enjoyed being slaves under the enlightened authority of their Southern masters.

I assume you're being sarcastic even though there is no flag.

If you followed my posts, you would know that my comments (at least the one you referenced) are not defending slavery. I was simply saying that my opponent had not proven his case. He had simply pulled a few examples and tried to say that proved his entire argument. It doesn't.

Simply by showing a few examples does not make a rule. We must, as reasonable men, be willing to admit to the limitations of our propositions.
