I'm struggling with the concept of a reluctant slave owner in a society where slavery is accepted. Even the great Greek philosophers never had a problem with slavery and Socrates even justified it. It was conflicting values of a much later era where people in the west started to object to slavery and that a mere 250-200 years ago. In fact slavery in the US has been abolished for less than 150 years.

I know I know its only fiction but one has to create a believable world for the reader to get lost in a story.
