Were they able to murder sick, old or rebellious slaves in the same manner, IMO there's little doubt they would have.But we don't know for sure "what they would have" done so it's mere supposition on your part, as opposed to what we know did happen during the Holocaust. Live slaves were valuable, dead captives brought no profit. The Nazis occasionally benefited from the slave labor of their victims, but the ultimate purpose of facilities like Auschwitz involved mass death, not profit or productivity. For slave owners and slave dealers in the New World, however, death of your human property cost you money, just as the death of your domestic animals would cause financial damage. And as with their horses and cows, slave owners took pride and care in breeding as many new slaves as possible. Rather than eliminating the slave population, profit-oriented masters wanted to produce as many new, young slaves as they could. This hardly represents a compassionate or decent way to treat your fellow human beings, but it does amount to the very opposite of genocide. |
