You probably cannot find them because you've butchered the spelling.
Here is the first "defition":
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/disenfranchise
1.to deprive (a person) of a right of citizenship, as of the right to vote.
2.to deprive of a franchise, privilege, or right.
Second one:
Manumission is the act of freeing a slave, done at the will of the owner.
Good luck.

you're having trouble finding these words because you spell them wrong.
Disenfranchisement or disfranchisement is the revocation of, or failure to grant, the right of suffrage (the right to vote) to a person or group of people. Disfranchisement may occur explicitly through law, or implicitly through means such as intimidation.
The term is Middle English and is derived from the Latin manumittere, literally to send off by hand, referring to the Roman ceremony of manumission where the master liberated the slave with a symbolic slap.
You'll find words quicker if you take the timeout to check the spelling.

Both of these came from www.dictionary.com but I think the reason you couldnt find them is because they were spelled wrong. This is what I came up with.

Manumission is the term for freeing someone from slavery.
Disenfranchisement is the act of removing someones legal entitlement to something or, perhaps clearer, preventing someone from executing a right to which they are entitled (e.g. voting).
