Stowe uses this dialogue between George and Haley to illustrate that slavery is unethical in every circumstance by showing that there are two parts involved who are equally as guilty for the problem.

George criticizes Haley for selling men and women but at the same time buys slaves himself. George knows that slavery is wrong and does not approve of it. However, he still participates and helps the system to keep standing by buying people to work for him.

With this, the author seeks to convey the idea that it is not only selling slaves that is unethical, but also buying them.
