Question

Read the excerpt then answer the question:

“'I should think you’d be ashamed to spend all your life buying men and women, and chaining them, like cattle! I should think you’d feel mean,' said George.

'So long as your grand folks want to buy men and women, I’m as good as they is,' said Haley; '’tan’t any meaner sellin’ on ’em, that ’t is buyin’!'"

In at least 100 words, explain how Stowe uses this dialogue between George and Haley to illustrate that slavery is unethical in every circumstance.

Answer 1

It's not 100 words, but its better than nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

Stowe refers to the slaves as being treated as cattle, being chained up and sold. I think that Stowe was smart to put that image in our head to just imagine how inhuman and wrong it would be to do that so someone.

Answer 2

In this excerpt from "Uncle Tom's Cabin", Harriet Beecher Stowe shows us that slavery, in any case, is unethical. She makes use of imagery by saying "I should think you’d be ashamed to spend all your life buying men and women, and chaining them, like cattle". This use of imagery illustrates the inhumane and immoral ways that the enslaved people were being treated. The slave trader responds by saying "So long as your grand folks want to buy men and women, I’m as good as they is". This shows us that under whatever circumstance, slavery is bad. Even if the slave masters were "Good people", they are also to blame for the slave's poor treatment.
