It's interesting that slavery existed for millennia, and then virtually disappeared within a century or so of the emergence of capitalism.

I wouldn't say that, slavery is still existent as alternative forms around the world, not discounting the fact of so-called sweatshop slavery

So only committing an evil for a couple centuries means it's OK? As I still see it as a fine example of capitalism given the right to do something that was evil.
