Mennonites traditionally emphasize values such as peace, justice, and compassion, which are fundamentally at odds with the institution of slavery. They believed that buying slaves perpetuated the system of oppression and exploitation, making buyers complicit in the moral wrongdoing of the slave trade. Consequently, both actions—buying and dealing in slaves—were seen as violations of their ethical beliefs, leading to a condemnation of all involved in the practice. This stance reflects their commitment to uphold human dignity and oppose all forms of injustice.
