Answer:
set serfs free and gave them land
Step-by-step explanation:
Emancipation Manifesto was a manifesto made by the then Russian Emperor Alexander II, in the year 1861. The manifesto among other legislative acts "set serfs free and gave them land."
Though the process of getting lands by the serfs was not efficient, twenty years after (1881) about 85 percent of the serf population has acquired their land.
