Kant is against slavery because it is against the fundamental idea of freedom. Freedom is the ability to set and pursue your own purposes as long as they do not interfere with anybody else. As a slave you cannot set your own purposes, someone is doing it for you. In addition in order to consent to slavery you would have to be a free human being so there is a contradiction there. On the other hand if you are treated as an object you cannot be commanded because objects cannot be commanded. In addition Kant agrees that excercising control over your own body is fundamental and slavery is somebody interfering with this principal. In addition parents cannot sell their children into slavery because children never consented to being born to their parents, children cannot consent until their adults anyways and parents do not own their children.
