Multiple founding fathers were abolitionists. IIRC Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Payne were the main advocates against slavery in the constitution (some were even against the 3/5ths compromise).
The debate over the morality stretches back to ancient Greece. Spartans and Athenians would argue over it. We've always known it was wrong, but some people want to own slaves anyway and have to bend over backwards to justify it.

Yep, it's a position that requires the person saying it to deny the humanity and agency of the actual people who are most affected
