Furthermore, unlike the Parthenon's High Classical

'Sacrificing Truth at the Altar of Greed': Frederick Douglass' Narrative Anyone who would deign to support chattel slavery on the grounds that its benefits outweigh its disadvantages undoubtedly argues from an uninformed position. The alleged gains made by global society at the expense of enslaved Africans in no way justify the irreparable damage done to humanity due to the Transatlantic slave trade. While this should be, on moral grounds, a foregone conclusion by now, it is not
