To be fair, the Dunmer are as much an enemy of the gold rods as all the races of Men. The Argonian invasion of Morrowind was in large part another scheme hatched by the Aldmeri Dominion to further splinter the Empire.
Not to mention I don't buy the idea that the Dunmer regularly conducted raids on Black Marsh to capture slaves. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to move an army through disease-ridden, bug-infested swampland inhabited by lizard people that know the terrain better, have better immunities, AND can breathe under the water without magical assistance? No, Morrowind wasn't the only country practicing slavery on Tamriel. Those lizards were selling their own people willingly while playing victim to the rest of the continent.
Funny enough, the slave trade routes and markets tended to be owned by the Altmer. It's why they were always closed on Loredas, since that's their holy day.
