Yes, I agree that Harlow's inhumane experiments left
their mark here.

I agree that he often discusses slavery.
Often he submits arguments in favour of it.
I think he understood that slavery was not always a
bad thing... if the slave was willing.

The one and only argument that might be considered pro-slavery that I can 
recall from Wolfe offhand is the reminder that *for the ancients* a certain 
amount slavery was actually the humane way to eliminate a conquered city as 
a potential threat - the alternative being wholesale slaughter.

I don't think that could be held as a pro-slavery argument in anything like 
this context.
