Answer:

Before there was slavery, there was domestic slavery at homes which started the main idea.

Explanation: This happened during the Enlightenment, I'm pretty sure people went along with this idea since Enlightenment thinkers were known to be "wise" (although slavery obivously isn't wise). I hope this helps a little bit, keep in mnd my explanation probably isnt the best lol

The eighteenth century saw a host of social, religious, and intellectual changes across the British Empire. While the Great Awakening emphasized vigorously emotional religiosity, the Enlightenment promoted the power of reason and scientific observation. Both movements had lasting impacts on the colonies.
