Were there benevolent slave masters in the South that their slaves loved?
Yes, during slavery in the South, there were benevolent masters, and the slaves loved them. Those slaves were better off than they could have hoped to be on their own. However, man adulterated God's purposes, and instead of benevolent masters, many became bestial and unmerciful, making slavery awful.
Les explains that when slavery was holding forth in the South, there were masters like that, and those slaves loved them. Those slaves had it better than they could have ever hoped to have out on their own. He notes that under circumstances where the vast majority were totally illiterate and incapable of decision making, a benevolent master was the best thing those people could have. But man has totally adulterated God's purposes, and instead of masters being benevolent, they became bestial and less than merciful, and then slavery became awful. As God first intended it, slavery would not have been that bad.
