It is true, sometimes a slave is not aware of their own slavery.
The slave owners and renters really get worried about the awakening because in reality they fear that they will not create wealth anymore when in reality that is very very far from the truth. Basically lack of understanding of multiple economic theories.
Now for people who speak against slavery or oppose it the fearful ones will say, "you are taking away my freedom and you are promoting the use of force" and then start a war because of irrational fear. The irrational fear shut their minds from understanding that true ethical freedom really does not take anything away but abolish slavery.
