the progressive logic of the time was actually that by enslaving them they were actually improving their loves from the "god-less savagery" that would befall them otherwise. Mmt of the "educated savages" depicted in the song Civilization by The Andrews Sisters and Danny "Fricking" Kaye

It was basically the same logic as "we know whats best for you and will help you whether you like it pr not because youre to dumb to help yourself. Also since were helping you, you owe us free labour and bussy(buck breaking)."

>My contention is that good men (not bad men) consistently acting upon that position [imposing "the good"] would act as cruelly and unjustly as the greatest tyrants. They might in some respects act even worse. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under of robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some points be satiated; but those who torment us for their own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to heaven yet at the same time likely to make a Heck of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on the level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~C.S. Lewis
