Should The South Be Stopped?

In recent times, something truly awful has come to my attention that must be addressed. I recently went to the south to visit my family and I saw something that has changed my view of southern practices. I used to think little of slavery but after seeing the brutality of people in the south towards blacks, I must tell your readers of the injustices and why they must be stopped. The south and the north are very different but that does not give the south a fair reason to abuse these people and take away their humanity. They treat them as cattle and we must act. As a local officer of the law, My job is to protect people and that includes black slaves.

Recently I read two books after my visit to the south and they were tales of the lives of slaves. The two in Question are a Mr. Frederick Douglass and a Ms. Harriet Jacob, who was using a fake name, these stories are truly awful, they were harassed and tortured. Harriet was sexual harassed and Douglass was beaten just for being ill. These actions are truly inhumane and no one cares to stop. It was very rare for anyone to be nice. Luckily they both were lucky to find people willing
to teach them English allowing them to write their stories, even of they had to do it from secrecy. These books only solidified what I know of the south and their cruel treatment of the blacks. It baffles my mind how poorly they are treated, as if they are owned by being of pure hate, and my family are kind people but the way they treat their slaves is something different from who they really are as if they use their slaves as labor and a way to vent their pent up anger towards something.

The southerners are very arrogant people who will argue that slavery is a perfectly fine thing.
It’s what bolsters the economy and keeps the U.S.A running but all I see is unfair treatment of the slaves. They use things like the Bible to justify their actions but their also lies arguments in the Bible against slavery like when Moses help the Egyptian slaves to freedom which seems to be totally overlooked. They can just as easily pay them, even if it’s the bare minimum, and treat them as humans instead of cattle. Sure they make farming a breeze and but it’s just the fact of how they are treated for being captured and taken from their home. You can’t justify the treatment of these people. Their ignorance to human feeling is baffling. I'm not the nicest person but I don’t resort to whipping my fellow workers for slowing down for just a
minute.

So all I ask for is that your audience joins me and protest the south
