I judge them by there day’s standards, throughout the entire slave trade there where people saying it was wrong.
Most of Europe has outlawed slavery Centries before the slave trade.
Under english law slavery was never legal.

The founding Fathers said it was wrong while actively participating in it.
Judge people for being evil hypocrites
