you can't have slavery, then abolish it, and NOT have all kinds of absurdities in the law as a consequence. This is a law of legal physics, not something you can avoid. It's reflected in the earliest legal codes. If you're gonna do slavery, go full bore like the Greeks. Don't ever have a sudden change of heart and turn your slaves into citizens.
