what is the difference between free labour and freedman​

Answer 1

• In one sense labor became free wherever employers lost the legal right to invoke criminal penalties for premature departure or non-performance. The defining characteristic of free laborers was the degree to which their violations of voluntary labor agreements were not punishable by imprisonment or physical coercion."Free labor" refers to a spectrum of contractual labor relations: often labor for wages in a job which the worker could quit without punishment.

• Freedmen occupied a place in Roman society between slaves on the one hand and full citizens on the other.A freedman or freedwoman is a formerly enslaved person who has been released from slavery, usually by legal means. Historically, enslaved people were freed by manumission (granted freedom by their captor-owners), emancipation (granted freedom as part of a larger group), or self-purchase.
