Well you said that slavery is wrong, and I am in agreement with you on this. The only thing we disagree on is how to abolish it.
I cited the aftermath of the Civil War because the former slaves weren't helped when slavery was abolished with the stroke of a pen. Mansions went poor, but so did the former slaves. Many of them went out on the streets. Some did get jobs, but many were disadvantaged, and the government failed to help them out.
The same would've been with the case of Arabia. Often slavery was big in the ancient times up until the 19th century. Arabia thrived on slavery alongside the trade with Syria. Being in the middle of a barren wasteland can be pretty hard financially. I'm not saying in any way what they did was right, but I'm also acknowledging the financial and economic circumstances for both Arabia and the fallen CSA.
The brutal treatment of slaves by itself (whippings and overwork) could've been abolished as it had no impact on the financial and economics of the regions. It all depended on who the owner was.
Here's what I propose tbh. Look at it this way- the Golden Rule. Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Most people forget this before they act. Would the plantation owner, or the owner of sex slaves want to be enslaved in such a manner?
