Obviously slavery was and is wrong, but they did what they did back then and it was condoned. Just because the guy owned slaves doesn't mean he wasn't smart or was an out right bad person, it's just the way things were back then.

Besides that, it was often other black tribes in Africa whom captured members of other tribes and sold them to the slave traders. Not to mention they often had their own slaves, when people complain about slavery they never bring that up.

Slavery has been something that has gone on for hundreds if not thousands of years and it was not discriminatory on race. Black, white, brown, yellow have all had or been slaves at some point in history.
