Veganism

I agree that it may be the case that a lot of slave owners knew that what they were doing was wrong but they didn't care.

The fact that it was once considered moral doesn't mean that it ever was.

If people don't consider something moral, then how can it be? Are you suggesting that there's some sort of external moral truth? Seems dodgy.

Exactly. Morality is what people practicing it decide it is. In the heyday of Rome, it was moral to expose malformed infants. In the Aztec empire, it was moral to cut out the hearts of still living people. Even today, there are moral strictures that make those of us in Western culture gasp with disbelief.
