George McDuffie was a governor from South Carolina in the years between 1834 to 1836. In his speech on slavery in the year 1836, he explained two points in favor of slavery; one that the African-Americans are born to be slaves due of their physical characteristics, their skin is one of the example of the same. The second view is his religious view that God chose to make African-American bondsmen when he created them and that there is nothing they can do about it
