Why Was Slavery Wrong?

If the majority wanted to maintain slavery, and voted democratically to do so, why would that, philosophically speaking, be "wrong"?

I specifically ask those who prefer to refer to America as a "Democracy".

  1. Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? Yes, slavery is wrong, however many might want it. Same with genocide and any number of other awful things. No majority can vote to take away basic human rights from other people. This shouldn’t be so hard to fathom. Are you trying to justify slavery, or aare you just so dumb you don’t understand?
