111. I see the fact that people used to own slaves quite differently

Nobody ever had a right to own another human being. The fact that slave ownership was permitted should be viewed as an ongoing infringement on the liberty of the slaves by their "owners" and by society at large; a mistake which has been corrected if not fully atoned for.
