Synopsis
A rigorous historical study of Brazil’s slave trade, diplomacy, and 19th‑century commerce, seen through British policy and debate.
From the Aberdeen Act to debates in Parliament, this volume surveys how Britain and Brazil confronted slavery, commercial treaties, and imperial influence in the mid‑1800s. It combines documentary detail with analysis of policy choices, shedding light on how advocacy, diplomacy, and economic interests shaped outcomes in a volatile era.
Readers will encounter a structured look at the legal battles, naval actions, and political arguments that surrounded abolition, trade restrictions, and the treatment of emancipados. The text compiles correspondence, official statements, and contemporary commentary to illuminate a pivotal chapter in colonial and economic history.
- Key events and laws shaping the slave trade and abolition efforts
- Debates over commercial treaties and British diplomatic strategy
- Critical perspectives on both British policy and Brazilian responses
- Contextual analysis of 19th‑century international relations in South America
Ideal for readers of historical and political analysis who want a clear, documentary account of how policy and practice intersected in Brazil‑Britain relations during a turning point of abolition and trade.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This collection of letters, speeches, and correspondence from 1845-1868 centers around the slave trade in mid-19th century Brazil and the efforts by the British government to work with the Brazilian government to end it. The author, who served as a diplomat during this time, argues that the slave trade continued in Brazil due to the systemic corruption and collusion of the Brazilian government and other parties, despite treaty obligations to Great Britain to end the practice. The book includes extensive documentation of the British government's efforts to raise the issue and enforce the treaty, including correspondence with the Brazilian government as well as the author's dispatches to his superiors in the British Foreign Office. The author argues that ultimately, the efforts of the British government did bring about a significant reduction in the slave trade, although slavery would not be fully abolished in Brazil until 1888.
