Who is trolling here ? Slavery was legal and immoral. My question was about
things that were illegal. Pls read my question and dont reverse my words.
(I know there are exceptional cases in which it is legal/moral to trespass
the law (contradictio), but most western laws and jurisdictions have ample
provisions for these exceptional situations, so these actions can no longer
be considered illegal).
