So, like I asked before, what VALUE or VALUES did the west adopt that would cause them to want to rebrand slavery and ultimately end it?

Roman slavery ended in many waves, it got smaller and smaller as you get closer and closer to the end of the Western empire. The end of slavery coincides with the beginning of Christianity, but the connection is hotly debated because at first Christianity was banned, and a noble would be risking his own status to admit being a Christian, and later Christianity was legally established, and a noble would be risking his own status to deny being a Christian. Anyhow I don't want to violate the CoC. And those same late Romans turned around and created serfdom, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
