Confederate Laws on slavery were horrific

I. Slavery is horrificHorrific means to "cause horror", but for the purpose of the debate, we are to assume horrific means its more commonly accepted terminolgy. Disgusting, or something that invokes disgust. The definition of disgust is " a feeling of revulsion or profound disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive.". Now, on to the point. Slavery is horrific, do to several, very prominent reasons.1) Slavery involves the inhumane treatment of a person2) Slavery involves the disgusting misuse of labor3) Slavery involves the unequal treatment of equal beingsII. Inhumane treatment is disgustingOn to the first point, slavery invoked disgust by causing blatant inhumane treatment of individuals. Here are a few cases where the confederate laws on slavery supported inhumane treatment. Actually, I need only one case. Not only had the confederate states legalized slavery, but most enacted the "slave code". A code that allows slave owners to have complete control over their subjects. In layman, a plantation owner could rape, murder, mutilate, immolate, molest, among other things. Such acts invoke disgust. To fullfill my premise BOP, I only need to prove that people subjectively view these acts as disgusting. Here are a few articles of people reffering to these acts as disgusting.http://www.apologeticspress.org...http://archive.indianexpress.com...http://morewomeninskepticism.wordpress.com...100'000's of slaves were murdered in the south, and if I were to make a guess, I would reason that at least a million were raped, based on common sense. Most view these acts as disgusting. Until the opposition can prove otherwise, this point is affirmed.III. Misuse of labor is disgustingThe misuse of labor in the confederacy is equally disgusting. Slaves were forced to work, on average, 18 hours a day. In the sun, and whiping was often a use of punishment or slacking. Often slaves would have dozens of lashes on their backs by the time of their death. Slaves were unpaid, unrepresented, discriminated against, and sexually harrassed. All things the modern American would find disgusting. Unless the opposition can counter this, it is affirmed.https://blogs.lt.vt.edu...http://www.pbs.org...IV. Unequal treatment of slave to whitemanThe most infamous article in the confederate constitution, is the amendments on the organization of armies. The Confederate congress and any Confederate general had the abillity to enlist "negroes" into the army. Over the course of the Civil war, 1000's of blacks were enlisted as cannon fodder, and rushed to the front lines. Most notably in Tecumseh Sherman's invasion of the South. The treatment was so inhumane, that is sparked uproar in France and England.My opponent made a contention that slaves willingly died for the confederacy. Died? Yes. Willingly? Certainly not.V. ConclusionI have the BOP for this debate, but in situations like this, there is something known as the "Absense of evidence". Whereas I can easily make contentions on why slavery is bad, my opponent will be held to extremely high expectations in refuting them, as he has the "Absense of evidence". Can he do it? We'll have to find out.
