It's all about knowledge and examples being available. The ancient cultures didn't know any better. Going by today's standards, I would be hard pressed to find any excuse to still regard people as property.
"...didn't know any better."
^Are you meaning to imply then that they were *wrong*???
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
