Why do you think the the older religions not speak out against slavery?

There were many poor and hungry. What safety net did they have other than stealing or starving?

Nonsensical apologetic gibberish aside, christianity condoned slavery. As is the norm for christianity, it only ever grudgingly changes its mind on something when the majority decides against it.

Same question I just asked above.
