@ SEC Of course, now elementary school textbooks in Georgia are labeling slavery "low-wage labor." Perhaps that is to your comfort.
I am pleased to hear that you were exposed to a more three-dimensional narrative about slavery. Many of the ideas that you introduce emerged to contradict the accepted narrative about "happy" enslaved people. I am glad to know that some of those ideas are gaining currency outside of the ivory tower.
Plantation owners replaced the enslaved people that they beat to death, worked to death, and starved to death, by breeding the women to produce more chattel. So even if they were not in on the raping themselves, they did breed enslaved women as though they were animals to increase their wealth (to which enslaved peoples contributed).
