You seem to be ignorant about how slavery was used to build the world. How it wasn't looked as a negative but as a way of life. You are looking at it thru today's lens, but it's to complicated an issue to do so.

Something is either right or wrong, thoughts and views of people from certain time periods don't change that.

1.) How many tens of millions of lives has to be crushed in order for us to "eventually get there"?

2.) Why not rely on that same passive learning that takes nearly 2000 years for other sins, like adultery? He specifically called that out several times.

Yes it does. Right and wrong pre-Jesus are different. It's not a snap your fingers magic trick type of change when it comes to human nature.

The last 60 or so years has proven this in a negative direction. Pre-2k gay marriage was fundamentally wrong in this nation, but now we have a political party with a pro-gender destruction of children national agenda. Abortion was right in this nation either but now the same political parties agenda pushes infanticide. I think these 2 are wrong, 20 years ago that was the normal thought, but now it could get people put in jail for thinking it's wrong.

Still looking at a past situation thru today's eyes. We got there. The rough road made us better, but still needs a lot of work.

This is a different moral stance that can be used to build a better society on. Ie...making a slave owner know he is being sinful if he sexually abuses his slave. Slavery in it's purest form may not be the worst thing for people who need that life, but the abuses that was taken advantage of then gets wrong. Fixing those wrongs got us where we are today.

Again, as a Christian I don't question His reasoning as to the "why".
