Slavery is wrong. I have never seen the bible "defend" it. Acknowledge it, but not "defend" it. Your mileage may vary.

BTW, my comment has been taken without context a half a dozen times already.

Set up rules for acquiring slaves, set up rules that make it OK to beat a slave to death, instruct slaves to obey even unjust masters.

Where is the commandment that forbids treating a human being as property?
