Doesn’t the 10th commandment say that thou shalt not covet thy neighbors slaves? So in your mind is slavery a God sanctioned thing?
The term "slavery" actually means "servant". People would sell themselves and become indentured servants for a period of time.
Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
LOLOL.. Most slaves were NOT indentured.. They were lifers, taken in battle.
