Slavery is degrading to both the slaveholder and the enslaved. Both slaveholder and slave are affected by the system. Slaveholders become ruthless and treat their slaves cruelly to compel them to obey. Slaves are robbed by opportunities and are devoid of hope due to the everyday plight that they have to endure.
