Kidnapping, breaking families apart and punishing those who try to escape is part of slavery's bones, so to speak. I'm referring to how they were treated on the plantations who bought them. Unless owners were psychotic, they didn't destroy the very people they viewed as valuable assets. JMVHO.
If you're excusing the slanted presentation of slavery in the Louisiana textbooks under discussion in the Op, I can't possibly, even remotely agree.
