Argumentative Essay *Central Argument*

I chose topic 6 i beleive. I am going to argue that slavery is dehumanizing for everyone involved, specifically the slave and slaveholder. This is what my cental argument will be. I will try to convince my reader that slavery is bad by showing them that it is a dehumanizing thing. My brainstorming has ideas and details, but it will need to grow a little more for it to start becoming an essay.
I will focus on first desribing to the reader that it dehumanizes the slaveholders, providing evidence and examples of this. The slave is directly involved and will support that idea, and then I will smoothly start talking about the slave himself, and use the slaveholder as evidence of that, and provide a summary and closing statments to get the reader to agree with me.
This was a very extremely brief summary of how my essay will go, but it's a start, like what will point me in the right direction as I begin to write my essay.
