Because rights are God-given is why we can say that oppression is evil.

Is slavery evil? Is there a God-given right not to be a slave? Is the right inherent in being human, or is it the result of being born at the right place or the right time?

Is slavery evil?

Yes.

Is there a God-given right not to be a slave?

Yes

Is the right inherent in being human,

Junior and I were discussing the word "inherent" a little while ago. My view is that rights are not inherent but endowed.

or is it the result of being born at the right place or the right time?

I would say that the right to be free was endowed at creation. So, why did the Constitution allow for slavery?
