No, that's not correct about whites having it good. Most whites did NOT own slaves and had an extremely hard existence just staying alive. Blacks were well cared-for by their owners because they were valuable property. The vast majority of whites throughout the budding United States lived a "hand to mouth" existence and struggled to survive!

You are generalizing.
In my humble opinion, in the main, it was better to not be a slave than to be a slave-yet there are exceptions as I have offered above.
In the case of blacks, it was better to be a slave.
