That's just part of letting people have free will. I'm sure God could have forced people to think and act a certain way, but He chose not to. That's the whole point of free will.

Well its not free will, because god not only commands slavery but tells them exactly who and how to enslave. Also how can you argue for objective morality and free will? How can the answer to a moral dilemma be predetermined but afford me the free will to form my opinion?
