Slavery was a worldwide institution of the time. I will not single out and judge a particular group of people of that historical time because they engaged in it.
Hanging, beheadings, impaling & frying people in electric chairs have been common methods of execution historically. Torture was common in prison and in war. In America, we don't do any of these any more. But that we did at one time in history, does not make us an evil people.
Don't judge the past by the present. It is a false comparison.
Mass murder, genocide and other atrocities engaged in by evil men of history DO NOT FALL into this category when they acted in defiance of the mores of their time for political/personal power. The Hitlers, Stalins, Maos, etc. of the world fall into this category.
