Gotta love how some people read a few things on the EVE wiki and suddenly think they know eve lore.

Huh, of my knowledge though the Amarr don't hit their slaves or anything of that nature, simply give them labors. Still kind of an abusive relationship I suppose, but it has worked. Outside of the Gallente meddling with the Minmatar, all other races have gone through this right of passage and since have been able to live in peace within the Empire. You can't really say for the Federation, the other expansionists. Many Intaki wish to secede, and Caldari already have. You could say the same about the Minmatar, but again that wasn't on their own accord but from outside influences by the Federation who had their own agenda.
About hitting slaves:
"The guard wound his arm back and struck again. Sparks exploded from the slaveGÇÖs back, and this time he crumpled to the ground in a heap. The cauterized wounds intersected the previous marks, creating an approximate visage of the Sign. The beauty of the Faith, the guard thought, is that it offers a path for the unborn. Paradise was the exclusive birthright of pureblooded Amarrians, but for all othersGÇöincluding the Matari wretch lying at his feetGÇösalvation had to be earned. Only through suffering can the unborn rise from the shadow of death to gain the blessing of immortality. I might yet walk in heaven with this one, the guard thought. His subservience speaks mountains of his quest for forgiveness."
About the Intaki: Currently, even with the turmoil in past years regarding seperatist movements, most Intaki still wish to remain federation citizens. Much of the anti-federation sentiment comes from security matters long ago that unfortunately forced the creation of the Intaki Syndicate, which then became heavily tied into illegal practices.
About the Federation and the Minmatar: The Gallente aided the Minmatar rebellion by providing them with weapons, which the Jove actually delivered. The entire rebellion was a convergence of agendas: the Minmatar breaking their bonds, the Gallente aiding their rebellion partly for the cause of freedom, and partly to weaken the Amarrians who were on the verge of more 'reclaiming', and the Jove who needed to fight the Enheiduanni, but also found great compassion for the Minmatar and the horrors they were enduring. |

If you want to understand the Amarr a little better, and learn something about the Jove, Minmatar, and Gallente at the same time (Caldari not really part of the story, but that's because they played no part in these events) then read the short story "Theodicy"
Warning: not that short. PDF is 168 pages. Big text though |
