Now, I didn't start with the Original D&D, but was more of a BECMI boy myself. But I seem to recall that the slavers were the baddies. The Iron Ring, for instance, in Karameikos. And in many places slavery was illegal. Sure, Thyatis and Alphatia had slaves, but this was never presented as a good thing, as far as I recall. Indeed, Dawn of the Emperors states explicitly: "... it is important for you, the DM, to not glamorize slave presence in the campaign." Granted, Dawn of the Emperors came out in 1989, but Expert rules, 1983, mentions the Big Bad, Baron von Hendricks, being in cahoots with "evil slavers".

@@anarionelendili8961 You are right. I even have modules A1 - A4 “Against the Slave Lords”. Slavery was always an adversary in D&D and AD&D.
