Treated fairly or poorly, a slave is still being mistreated by the simple act of being a slave.

My assumption is that your feelings are not limited only to the history of American slavery, but that you have the same abhorrence of all slavery throughout history, whether it be the Egyptians enslaving the Israelites, the Normans enslaving the Saxons or some African tribes which enslaved and sold their own and other African tribal peoples.
