OK, I take it back, you don;t approve of slavery, you approve of genocide.
I hope you are simply a troll and trying to provoke us, otherwise you have some serious problems. I mean even more serious than your immature inaccurate trolling.

Taking them back to Africa as Lincoln advocated for years was a horrible cruelty because they only preyed on each other once they got there. The histories of Liberia and Haiti proved that. Continuing to make more babies all of which would live in slavery would also be cruel. And freeing them turned out to be a totally disasterous option.
The most humane choice would have been to make no more slaves, and take care of the remaining ones humanly until they passed away.
That was the humane choice.
