Owning people and taking away their freedom is not "treating them well".  Who cares if they were not all whipped to death.  

You know what kind of people claim it is okay to own other people as long as you don't beat them?

To be fair, many of the original slaves freedom was already taken.
Many were conquered tribes who were sold by the victor,  rather than put to death.
