it actually is as simple as black and white. while not morally acceptable, slavery was <b>legal</b> at the time. what they were doing at the time was not illegal, and you can not hold someone accountable for doing something that was not illegal at the time.
the holocaust was immoral and illegal based on international law (war crimes, anyone?), so there's the difference.
