All slavery is immoral. You can't whitewash owning another human being so easily, and you are a fool if you think the average slave was given anything more than just enough to keep them alive. Plenty of archaeological evidence testifies that slaves have never anywhere been well treated -- one can see it in their overworked early-death corpses.
The Romans treated Greeks they enslaved who were useful to them for education and entertainment relatively well, but with constant put downs and slights. Other slaves worked the mines or something similar for a couple years where they inevitably died.
Because something was always done doesn't make it right. Sheesh, man, think about it a little from basic principles of compassion and human aspiration.
