"I am equally diminished if one of my fellow men is enslaved."
The Kanakas were paid 6 pound on completion of their contract.
That is not slavery back then because a slave was not paid.
Maybe in your modern interpretation it was slavelike or slavelike conditions, that they lived and worked in back then, but not enslavement which is what you're propounding.
