How did planters justify the enslavement of africans

Slave owners looked at their slaves as property. In the contemporary literature and historical documents, those of African descent was considered more animal than human. 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.
