You cannot put the more sophisticated prism of today on events of 50-150 years ago. To do so is an intellectual falsehood. There was no such reality of today back then.You don't think that morality was different for the ancient Egyptians than it was for us?Morality is absolute? You sure?Wrong. Morality is absolute, and ethics as well, basically. What you're referring to is "value", which can or can not be derived from morality. If morality isn't absolute, then slavery can't be considered immoral since the society at the time valued it and practiced it, and would have made arguments as to why it was moral.Politically correct means situational morality, to be politically correct you have to have zero backbone and no sense of morality a total lack of common sense. And heard mentality
Who out of everyone in the world is entitled to, and qualified to determine what "absolute morality" would consist of? Nobody.
It's all situational morality, i.e. ethical determinations are made according to the context in which they arise. It's all based on the exercise of common sense, or not.
The only thing that happens over time is we discover what absolute morality is or isn't to the best of our ability based on what the long-term results of our actions turn out to be. So no one will ever understand it completely, but we can get closer.
So your point is that morality is subjective.
We have evolved and thank the Lord for that.
