Western cultures were the ones who decided slavery was a universal sin and had to be eradicated everywhere. Were they wrong?

  No, they were not. Slavery is a universal wrong.

    Well, I agree. I just am surprised that its condemnation seems rather....muted in some of these replies.

    Right or wrong is relative. Including slavery.
    • legolas2412 9y ago
      It's just about whether you believe in equality and freedom or not.
      • matz1 9y ago
        Yes, not all human care or believe in that.

      Wow that's super progressive. I'm not one for cultural relativism though, I'm afraid. I'm quite the reactionary, unenlightened provincial bore, with my outmoded beliefs like "slavery is unjustifiable".

    Only because we were fortunate enough that the culture that ended up banning it won out. In fact we are lucky that Western culture took this path at all.
