The question is asking for the rhetorical question. But first what is that? It is a question that someone ask without expecting a response. It might also be one that has a noticeable answer but they asked the question to make a stand, to encourage or for fictional effect. So for this question, "the wrongfulness of slavery should be obvious." Since it doesn’t expect any answer.
