This educational video provides a structured analysis of the moral arguments used both to oppose and to defend the institution of slavery in the United States. The lesson begins by introducing general concepts of morality through philosophers like Kant, Mill, and Confucius, before transitioning to the specific historical context of the 19th-century abolitionist movement.
