A. Manumission releases someone from slavery, while emancipation is giving someone freedom.

Emancipation can be defined as the process and act of giving people social and political freedom and rights, through government action. On the other hand, manumission only releases someone from slavery by her or his master's decision and doesn't necessarily give the "slave" rights or other freedoms as a person.
