If you're asking me as a 21st century person, the answer is of course they were wrong.
So if you are talking about a group of people who thought burning rape victims and enslaving humans was moral, and you say that they were wrong for thinking it's moral, you are then saying that those things are objectively immoral, correct?
"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."
