This is one of the questions I would answer with more questions.
Put yourself in the situation of a slave.
How would you react to loose your freedom?
How would you react to be forced to do work without any benefits and pay?
How would you react if you had children that also became slaves?
How would you react to be forced away from your country to do often very unhealthy work just because some people had the physical power and means to do so?
After you have answered these questions in regards to yourself, you would know why it was wrong to have slaves.
Slave-business is the darkest trade in human history.
Slaves were a fact of life and not to be " liked" or " disliked" but just a part of life. Many slaves became slaves as part of war, so they were seen as one of the outcomes of being on the wrong side.

Some colonists believed that slavery was wrong due to religious beliefs, moral principles, and Enlightenment ideas emphasizing equality and natural rights. Others opposed slavery as it limited opportunities for white workers and impeded social and economic progress.

They also argued that slaves were needed for the economic success of their plantations and that they were providing a form of care and protection for slaves who would otherwise not survive on their own.
Portuguese colonizers used slaves for labor in various industries such as agriculture, mining, and domestic service. Slaves were also used in constructing buildings, roads, and fortifications in Portuguese colonies. Additionally, some slaves were used for the transatlantic slave trade.
Because keeping people as slaves is morally wrong.
