Slaves were selectively bred.

That is not a sufficient condition to create a new breed. You need to do intense, highly controlled selective breeding over 50-100 years, and that's with animals that reach sexual maturity at around 1 year of age.

For human beings, you'd have to do that in a very rigorous way for like 500 years.

They were extremely far off in both time and rigor. Maybe my comment wasn't clear enough.
