Does the Bible condemn slavery? Were Christians told in the Bible to free their slaves?

No. But one must be careful when dealing with such a broad topic with a single concept word. For example, slavery in Jewish society was very different than the cruelty of slavery in Roman society. It was conceptually closer to indentured servitude.

Which slavery does the New Testament address?

I quoted a verse from the New Testament, do you need more?
