What's the word for when a slave is set free?

[Naffa]

As above, I'm racking my brains for the term used when a slave is given their freedom. I have used the term before, but I'm at a loss (and it's not emancipation).

Thanks.

I once went on a trip to watch a manchester united football game, but once I got there there was nowhere to park!

Had to park 3 miles from the stadium it was a manumission.

Thanks!
