Calhoun argues that ill and elderly slaves in the United States are treated better than ill and elderly tenants of poor houses in
Europe.
Is that argument relevant to his claim that slavery is a positive
good?
Yes, the argument proves that slaves in the United
States are given many of the privileges of free people.
No, the claim that tenants of poor houses in Europe

must be treated well.
No, the fact that other people are treated worse than
slaves does not make slavery a positive good.
