I would really like to know what exactly is "good" vs good here. And whether the four graders know to distinguish them. It truly is the kind of homework I would not be happy if my child get. Not until they are big enough to real full accounts of former slaves so they fully understand what it is they nuancely argue for here. The nuance here is achieved by ignoring bloody reality of slavery.

"It economically benefits me" is a "good" reason for slavery? Would we analyze it the same for hired assassin for gang? The latter kills less people. Is "good" in your meaning "egoistical"?

I don't see much space for nuance here and can imagine just about million topics with true moral grey in them.
