Think of it this way. Some slave owners can be very decent to their slaves. The slaves may have cozy quarters in the manor itself; they may eat at his table; they might not be submitted to physical violence and they might only work ten hours a day. Hell, imagine half of the slave owners are this way.
Does that justify slavery?
