What does this kind of argument say about the morality slavery in 1860? Opinions were strongly divided, therefore was it not so clear cut?
Case in point: Most everyone is opposed to people owning people, but very few are opposed to people owning other animals.
Can you give me a test that will definitely say if a being is sentient or not that doesn't basically boil down to "is this being a human or not?"

There have been cultures where "very few people" were opposed to human sacrifice. This is meaningless as an argument.
