That's why I want to look at whether morality is objective or subjective. If objective, as you seem to believe, then we can answer that question when we've defined the basis for our objective morality. A basis which to satisfy the demands of objectivity must be applicable in all circumstances and irrespective of society.
If morality is subjective, as tbt believes, then the answer can only be "it depends" because then morality is contingent on the opinions and perspective of whoever is judging and the context in which it is being assessed.
Sorry, I replied to your post before you edited it. I was answering your initial question "was slavery immoral".
I can give you my subjective view if you like, but I make no claim to be the arbiter of morality.
