Involuntary Evil

A Response to"Is Socrates' Idea that Every Evil Act is Involuntary True?" 

In the post, the point is made that one of the first things you learn is right from wrong.  But what about in cases where that isn't true? For many years, people were taught that slavery was a good thing- or if not a good thing, that it wasn't a bad one.  If you're raised in that society, with not one to tell you that there's something wrong with it, you wouldn't know.  And that doesn't make the act of slavery all right.  And although the action is intentional, it isn't intentionally an evil act because you can't intentionally do evil if you don't know it's evil.  Intent still has to figure into the voluntary, I'm just not sure how much of an effect it has.
