I think I'd go with Emancipation. Even in its original Latin it already expanded to cases other than strict slavery, and as long as there are humans there will be people deserving release from unjust bonds of some sort.

For the Underground Railroad, I dunno, I suppose there might be an angel of Wind with the word of Moral Smuggling.

But honestly it's a bit of modernist thinking that Heaven opposes slavery as slavery. The abuses it commonly leads to yes, but all the Abrahamic religions depict a God who seems OK with the general concept. There could perfectly well be an Angel of Slavery working to promote it's proper forms. Doubtless opposed by demons in the service of the Prince of Democracy.
