That was over 1,000 years ago.
Slavery existed all over; in Europe, Africa, Americas, Asia back then.
You can't use that a reason to say Christianity was a uniquely evil and oppressive force in the world.
Slavery was largely replaced in the European Middle Ages by serfdom and feudalism. In part because the church discouraged the enslavement of Christians and encouraged the liberation of slaves.
Slavery did continue to exist at large scale in Byzantine and Islamic-controlled areas of the Mediterranean.
