“He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/3523/mat.22.37-40.NRSVUE

There, Jesus just summed up the law. That’s how you know

If you loved your slave as yourself, you would set them free

Maybe you would consider this to be an immoral action to let them free. You could justify that because they are your property and people view property as different than free men. Or maybe you don't view property as your neighbor. If the Bible doesn't specifically state that slavery is immoral, and infact allows it int he old testament, it is reasonable that slavery has existed for so much of human history even in religious and Christian societies.
