I don't usually vilify individuals who were doing what everyone else was doing...it's hard to take that kind of thing out of context. Of course, if you were championing it, that would be a different story.

In general, though, I don't really judge individuals so much (I never knew them) but cultural trends in history. A lot of events had some really good and really bad things come out of them. Slavery is a particularly difficult one - the US as we know it would be so radically different and many of the people I care about wouldn't even be here if not for the slave trade. But I can never condone it. I simply recognize that a horrible thing happened to have some long-term consequences that, if not necessarily better than any alternative, can still be appreciated for what they are. tl;dr: sometimes good things come out of the ruins of bad things.
