American slavery was morally reprehensible. The idea of one person owning another is so contrary to and ingrained in American (and originally Greek, right?) thought that we forget other cultures have existed in history outside this context. One such culture, is the ancient culture prevalent at the time the Old Testament was written. The ideas of human rights and individual freedom weren't really around then. If anything, Biblical concepts on slavery were progressive merely in suggesting that slaves and masters treat each other well.
