Most southerners saw slavery as a free labor force.

Explanation:

Southerners saw slavery as a free labor force because they had believed they had owned the slaves. Because of this, they thought the slaves were their property. This led to the Civil War, which was fought over states' rights and the preservation of the union. Essentially, the Southerners saw slaves as their own property and fought to keep them when their way of thinking was challenged.
