Necessary Evil refers to factions, such as interest groups and political parties.
The founders of the United States did not like the idea of having political parties (such as Republicans and Democrats, but there was no way around them, so they called them "necessary evils". This is found in federalist 10, written by James Madison.

Was slavery a necessary evil?
You mean slavery in general, or the enslavement of black persons in America before about 1850? Slavery is not currently considered ethical. Some argue that without the enslavement of black persons, America would not have been able to establish it self as quickly as a self-reliant nation. Slavery is means to an end. Just like paying workers minimum wages, which they can just barely scrape by on, but which also makes a big business man wealthy, is a means to an end. Nothing is really evil, nor is it really necessary if you twist your veiw point enough.
