Sadly the "we did them a favor " was a very common defense of slavery

From its inception in the US till about 1970

"We took them from ravenous uncivilized lands. Gave them food and clothes and sanitation, they were better off and should be more grateful!" was an unironic statement very popular in the South

Its only the past few decades were the "Lost Cause" myth defending the confederacy has changed into arguing that Slavery actually wasnt that bad and no one fought a war for it

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!
