Playing hostile foreigners of course, is a different matter, in which case raiding a slave owning state and cutting the slaves loose is entirely congruent, in the same way that burning homes and stealing property and livestock would be - and if slavery is a bone of contention between the nations then so much more congruence.
Basically, if it doesn't depend on the setting, there's something up with your players.

Going with that, if the slavers are from a hostile tribe and the slaves are from yours, you have reason to target them. Whether or not you have a generic abolitionism. It's not about justice then, it's about not picking on the family.
