The greatest factor that ensured the continuation of the slave trade was economics. Slavery has been a factor in all civilisations and still exists today.
It is obvious if you do not have to pay the people that do the work then that product will be cheaper to produce than otherwise.
Enlightenment comes slowly and in such situations it is a case of 'out of sight out of mind'. Those making vast profits in the 18th and 19th century cared little for the conditions under which people worked.
This is also the case today with some companies, making products in countries with little or no labour laws, paying a barely subsistent wage.
