How did planters justify the enslavement of africans

Judging by many documents, owners felt they were doing their slaves a favor by housing them, feeding them and giving them work. While most Southerners were not slave-owners, and while the majority of slaveholders held ten or fewer slaves, planters were those who held a significant number of slaves, mostly as agricultural labor. Planters are often spoken of as belonging to the planter elite or to the planter aristocracy in the antebellum South.
