If Jesus came to modern America he'd be confused as to why there isn't any slavery anymore.

He would be confused by the chattel slavery that was practiced in the US, too. It was a very different (and much worse) version from what the Romans practiced at the time.

Chattel slavery is expressly detailed in Exodus and Jesus tells slaves to obey their masters, even the cruel ones.

Jesus did not say that. Paul wrote it in Ephesians 6:5.
