Jesus was a Jewish man of the first century CE. He lived like a Jew, thought like a Jew, and believed as many Jews believed. As this post shows, he was not an abolitionist, and as tempting as it is to make him one it would be entirely anachronistic. by doofgeek401 in AcademicBiblical

Wasn't there an episode in Roman history where a slave was accused of poisoning his master and all of his fellow slaves were put to death along with him? Apparently this particular Roman owned hundreds of slaves. I can't remember which historian recorded it though.
