Well, what part of what I said do you disagree with?

The part that they weren't oppressed. Pretty much all of it. Let's take an extreme example for the sake of your argument. Let's say a slave was treated like royalty. They ate well. They drank good wine and got laid as much as they wanted. Their family was never separated. Moreover, they lived a long healthy life. Ok, great. One problem - they are still a slave. What does that mean? It means they are property, not humans. They can be killed or whipped for no reason at any time. Property is expendable. They don't have a right to pursue their own happiness. If they want to make money and own their own land or property, that is too bad. their lives have been coursed out already.
