You have to cherry pick two extreme examples from 60 and 200 years ago.

No I don't. I pick those because they are simple, and easy to understand, which makes it difficult for you to dismiss the point without looking like an @$$.

Yes, people decide whether or not to obey the law based on their own morality, not because it's "the LAW!"

Plus you are totally disingenuous and IGNORE, over and over again hard facts in this case that are INCONVENIENT for you and your position.

Do these facts address the moral issue? No? Then they are irrelevant and they should be ignored.

I finally understand.

Slavery was legal but immoral therefore slavery should be abolished.

Your example when applied to this situation becomes:

Owning private property is legal but immoral therefore ownership of private property should be abolished.

Even though I now understand you I still don’t agree with you.
