"Btw, where in the Bible does Jesus speak out against slavery?"

Deuteronomy 15:18

Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because his service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

There you have it. The Bible says that a slave should be set free after only six years and Slave Holders in America violated God's Law by holding human being in slavery for hundreds of years.

Deuteronomy 15:18

WOW! Did you parse that verse! It applies ONLY to Hebrews. But you do like to twist.

Deuteronomy 15: 15-20

12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free. 13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed. 14 Supply him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your winepress. Give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today.

16 But if your servant says to you, "I do not want to leave you," because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 17 then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your maidservant.

18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because his service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.

and Slave Holders in America violated God's Law by holding human being in slavery for hundreds of years.

They couldn't have been worth much as a slave since being hundreds of years old makes them rather lazy.

Slavery has been around since the beginning of time.

So. Now answer the question. Where did Jesus speak out against slavery?

There you have it. Truman supports slavery as long as the slaves are released after six years.

I disagree with Truman. Slavery should not exist, it's an abomination that God regulated because of human wickedness. I also think Truman should stop beating his wife.
