Why does our constitution say it is wrong to have slaves? All the founders of the country were nominal Christians. Why was it OK then and wrong now?

I do believe there is a time lapse between the Constitution and the Civil War. However, the Civil war was fought over states rights but an end result was the end to slavery. History 101.
