Yes. The opposition to slavery is on ethical grounds. Not practical.

But while you will find absolutely no support for slavery in the Nordic countries, there is 100.0% support for conscription in the Swedish parliament.

The people forced into conscription in Sweden later end up voting for parties who support it. I doubt you'll find the same thing with many ex-slaves, right?

The "huge opposition" that you keep bringing up just doesn't exist here.
