A survey was conducted about attitudes towards slavery. It asked 5 questions ranging from whether racism caused slavery or vice versa, to preferences between being a slave or killed, reactions to being freed a year late, prospects of slavery's acceptability returning, and appropriate punishments for idle slaves. The survey included people aged 12 to 75. Responses are shown in bar graphs, with most favoring slavery causing racism, preferring slavery over death, feeling angry or running away if freed late, doubting slavery's return, and supporting whipping or forcing work over killing or nothing for idle slaves.
