There are a number of practices that can be found throughout history that are today considered barbaric or worse.Ironically, you seem to be arguing for subjective morality.
Who knows 6,000 years from now there will be a couple folks pointing finger at a Christian and stating "see what your god allowed back then, folks actually had to perform manual labor while their owner determined how much their service was worth."
Not sure how practices that happened in historic times can be used as ammunition to slight modern day Christianity; but it never stops folks from trying.
Christians tend to believe in an "objective morality" handed down to them by God himself. Consequently, unless God changed his minds regarding the issue of slavery, it is irrelevant the time period. He is supposedly timeless.
