The question should be "when was the slave trade condemned, and when did it end."
The Bible actually condemns chattel or racial slavery.

St. John Chrysostom [345 A.D. - 407 A.D.], Patriarch of Constantinople, said "Slavery is the fruit of covetousness, of extravagance, of insatiable greediness" in his Epist. ad Ephes., Homil. XXII. 2.
As early as the seventh century, Saint Bathilde (wife of King Clovis II) became famous for her campaign to stop slave-trading and free all slaves; in 851 Saint Anskar began his efforts to halt the Viking slave trade. That the Church willingly baptized slaves was claimed as proof that they had souls, and soon both kings and bishops—including William the Conqueror (1027-1087) and Saints Wulfstan (1009-1095) and Anselm (1033-1109)—forbade the enslavement of Christians.

Unfortunatety, "human trafficking", as it is called, continues to go on even today:
"There are an estimated 27 million trafficking victims in the world today,3 and the deplorable trade in human beings is growing!4 Trafficking is the dark underbelly of globalization in which the strong exploit and abuse the vulnerable for their personal pleasure and gain. Human trafficking is a nexus of evil, as traffickers perform all manner of incomprehensible acts of cruelty, brutality, humiliation, dehumanization and exploitation. The size and pervasiveness of the crime presents a formidable problem, but with your assistance we fight to end these untenable human right violations."

What about white slavery from Eastern Europe, or the slavery happening in Africa with children? Very much alive.
