We can merely attempt to act in a more enlightened way now.

ME: And were you thinking of making an attempt any time soon?
There's no evidence so far at least.

What one does to support what is right is not normally a subject for this site.
I don't support slavery if that's what you're implying.  Slavery's wrong, but so are many things that are considered okay now.  (Ever try to raise a family on minimum wage?)
However slavery was just fine back then per their gods/superstitions and traditions.  Next time your village is captured I'm sure you'll volunteer for the "to be killed" line rather than the enslavement one.

I've worked over the years for groups trying to improve women's' lives throughout the world including the heinous practices, usually garbed in religion/tradition, that are common in the Muslim world, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia not to mention unenlightened parts of this country. Female circumcision, inability to get educations, "honor" slayings, spousal abuse, etc.  I've spent too damn many nights with those after their husbands or fathers or boyfriends have put them into the emergency room -- including, several times, an emergency room head nurse whose husband loved to beat the Hell out of her and send her to her OWN hospital's emergency room -- only one in town.  Her stupid religion prohibited her from divorcing the (Yuku would have fits if I used the proper word).  Her priest insisted it was god's plan or some such (insert the obvious word here). 

At over six feet, a former semi-jock, and weight lifter, I've escorted women to abortion clinics, etc. when requested.  Never turned one of them down.  Nor will I as long as I'm able.  The inclusion of slavery in your original reply was just an attempt to use a toxic buzz word to distract from your otherwise undefended assertions.  Wouldn't have been surprised to see the words Nazi, liberal, socialist, and communist used as well.

What the Kirby's are doing is using the system to extort money from an entity that had nothing to do with alleged promises (IF any were actually made).
