* The Spanish slavery laws descended from their Romanized ancestors, with certain moral considerations added (it was illegal for a Christian to enslave another Christian, and UsefulNotes/TheCatholicMonarchs later established Native Americans could not become slaves regardless of if they were Christians or still pagan). As such, buying one's freedom was surprisingly easy in the Spanish Empire, with many black slaves becoming conquistadors, soldiers, sailors, merchants and even qualified jobs, to the point King UsefulNotes/PhilipII had to instate a taxation on manumission when he realized he was missing tons of money due to how common it was.

* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': This is Henry's plan when he travels on the slaver ship ''Empress of Africa'' in the flashback of "Dead Men Tell Long Tales." He intends to steal the key that opens the shackles and cell doors, and pass it to an African captive who understands English, telling him where they can find the armory and acquire weapons to take over the ship. The plan is interrupted by the captain before Henry can pass over the key. Henry is shot and killed by the captain, but the key falls from his hand as his body is dragged past the cells, and the Africans are able to carry out the plan, sailing the ship into free waters in the North.

* ''Film/{{Surrounded}}'': Mo relates that at the end of the American Civil War she, along with her family, were declared free by the Union Army and left plantation where they had been enslaved. However, as she says, being free didn't mean their problems were over, since they had no land or a place to go afterward. She went West after getting land in hopes of being ''truly'' free that way.

* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' has a few slave markets, (only one of which the player is actually able to purchase from), and any slave the player buys can be freed by them immediately if the player chooses. If the player is the same race as the slave they're buying, the slavemistress will say that she knows they're probably just buying the slave to free them, but doesn't really care because she gets paid either way.
