It's different because he who makes his money on slave trading only stays in business if there is a demand for the slaves. This is why I described it as a "secondary" immorality, because it is derived from the primary evil of slave holding. (I do not use secondary as indicating a lesser moral repugnance, only that it is derives from the primary.)
