	The Cultural Significance of Roman Manumission
		Manumission of slaves was a common practice among ancient societies, but the Roman tradition of creating legal citizens of their liberated slaves was in striking contrast to the manumission customs employed by their near neighbors in the Greek East.
		What is most striking about manumission during the Republican period is the lack of either a standard mode of manumission or a body of law regulating the myriad forms that developed, especially when one considers the apparent frequency with which the Romans liberated their slaves.
		Anthropologist Patterson characterizes the total ordeal of slavery from enslavement through manumission as just such a process, that is, as a single, elongated right of passage wherein the slave experiences enslavement as separation from his original community, slavery as a liminal state of social death, and emancipation as rebirth within the master's society.

	Manumission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In ancient Rome, freed slaves were not "freeborn" and were still required to grovel in the presence of their former masters.
		In times of bad harvest, serfs could find themselves, once again, attached to the land of a noble for lack of any other means of survival.
		For these reasons, manumission is not the same as emancipation, the freeing of slaves by an act of government (for example, at the end of the American Civil War).

	Wayne County Government- Manumission Comments
		All of these manumissions are dated November 13, 1835, and they record the purchase of slaves in and around Perquamins County, North Carolina by a remarkable group of anti-slavery Quakers in that southern state.
		Before and during this exodus (which has been studied by Indiana historians and others), some of the Friends Meetings (the local Quaker congregations) actually purchased slaves from their owners and cared for them until they could be transported into a free state.
		If your area does not have a large monument of some sort to the life-and-death careers of these quiet champions of liberty, it may be time to awaken the region from over a century of sleep.

		Concerning slaves who proceed to approach someone and petition to be [his] slaves after the death [of their previous owners], and they bring with them manumission documents issued by the deceased or their bailiffs: bring such slaves with those manumission documents to the Slavery Chancellery.
		In the Slavery Chancellery, having interrogated those slaves and having obtained copies of the manumission documents, order that those people to whom they proceed to petition to be their slaves be granted limited service slavery contracts on them.
		If the slave who has no manumission document says under interrogation that his former master who manumitted him is still living, but that master of his did not give him a manumission document: no one shall issue a limited service slavery contract on him without a manumission document.

	Manumission Rocks the Party on Mondays and Fridays in 2005
		Last year we met up with Andy and Dawn from Manumission to talk about their new music policy of innovation; of bending the rules and treating their clubbers to a bit more than your average Ibiza beats.
		The main change is going to be upping the emphasis on live music and the fusion of DJs and bands, which is the continuation of what we've been doing in the Music Box for the last 3 years.
		We feel that the power of some of these DJs - they are such commercial pulls that you don't want to change the flavour of that night that drastically by bringing 3 or 4000 of their fan base into your night - we're filling the venue without doing that.

		Our society has been favoured with your letter of the 1st of May last, and are happy that efforts so honourable to the nation are making in your country to promote the cause of justice and humanity relative to the Africans.
		The State has also manumitted such as became its property by confiscation; and we have reason to expect that the maxim, that every man, of whatever colour, is to be presumed to be free until the contrary be shown, will prevail in our courts of justice.
		Manumissions daily become more common among us; and the treatment which slaves in general meet with in this State is very little different from that of other servants.

	MANUMISSION BY LAST WILL IN ANTEBELLUM ALABAMA
		Jurists also raised the question of whether or not manumission by last will was a bequest or a trust, a gift to one who was himself property as opposed to a responsibility delegated to the executor of an estate.
		Manumission by last will raised so many legal problems that some states eventually prohibited the practice.
		To sustain the trust, the court would have to conclude either that the state’s policy favored manumission or was indifferent to the issue, provided freed slaves did not remain in Alabama.

	Laws of manumission (from slavery) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		It is hardly surprising that manumission was more frequent in systems of household slavery, for intimate relations between master and slave soon converted the outsider into an insider.
		But that was not universally the case; African slave societies, such as the Dahomeans of West Africa, the Ashanti of Ghana, or the Azande living between the Congo and the Nile, prescribed that the offspring of slaves should be free, as part of the process of incorporation into a new lineage.
		In much of sub-Saharan Africa, manumission was common in most periods, and the freed person typically became a kind of relative in a process of assimilation.

	After 1723, Manumission Takes Careful Planning and Plenty of Savvy
		As the institution of slavery matured in colonial Virginia, slaveholders saw the small number of free fls in the colony as a “great inconvenience” suspected of everything from receiving stolen goods and encouraging slaves to run away to fomenting rebellion.
		While manumission by deed or will was legal under this law, it required a newly freed slave to leave the colony within six months and the former master to pay for the trip.
		Although legislation likely had a dampening effect on the urge to manumit, it is not clear how many slaves were freed and forced to leave Virginia during the thirty-two years it was in effect.
