Well, let me ask you this. Slavery was an institution in every culture going back for thousands of years.
Does that mean that they all were bad or evil?
How about cannibals?
Were those cultures that practiced cannibalism evil? Should those cultures that practiced cannibalism be considered guilty for what their ancestors did in the present?

What is considered "evil" does vary from culture to culture throughout history.
You really don't know why slavery and cannibalism are bad? Seriously?
American slavery was particularly bad.
In America people were not recognized as human beings but as property that could be mortgaged, traded, bought, sold, used as collateral, given as a gift and disposed of violently.
And generations were born into slavery and passed that status onto their children.
In addition, most African Americans had no wages or any wealth to pass down to descendants, no legal right to accumulate property, and individual exceptions depended on their enslavers' whims.(warning! This statement may be illegal in Florida and Texas public schools).
If you cannot see why American slavery was a particularly bad thing by now then you must be a frickin White Supremacists or a Nazi bro.
And even when slavery ended there were the Jim Crow laws that marginalized blacks and forced segregation and prevented African American economic independence right up until 1965. (Also a statement probably not allowed in Florida and Texas public schools)
As for cannibalism do I really have to explain to you why eating other humans for any reason is very bad habit?
