Best Answer

The ending of slavery was known as abolition from the verb abolish, meaning to do away. The movement toward abolition led to the US Civil War.

The word used to mean "setting slaves free" was emancipation (verb to emancipate).

When slaves were voluntarily freed by their 'owners', the process was called manumission (verb to manumit, to release from slavery).
