The fact that God set things up so that slavery is even possible in the first place makes him responsible should it happen.
God set it up so that you could freely choose to enslave someone else. Then, when mankind chose to do this evil, He set about teaching us that it was wrong.
(One wonders why this was not intuitively obvious to all if moral values derive from an evolutionary process, but I digress.)
Would you have preferred life without free will, rob?
