Revolta negra na freguesia de São José do Queimado : escravidão, resistência e liberdade no século XIX na província do Espírito Santo (1845-1850)

Abstract

The insurgency Queimado is the result of the construction of the political process of conquest of liberty in search of the letter of manumission. The various forms of black resistance to slavery and scape, the formation of quilombos, muder of you and uprisings is showing the contradictions in society of the nineteenth century. Even in the condition of prisoners of war in the nineteenth century the blacks came gradually gaining some areas of freedom, and even an informal hierarchy between them, with leaders able to arregimentar people to work and negotiate with local authorities, whether it be the Catholic priest or its sir. The network of shares before the March 19, 1849 is reflected in what we call syncope libertarian in that it establishes a dialogue to negotiate the freedom of improvisation in the spaces of daily life, exercises and dialogue as a way to make or promote policies emancipating. The freedom in exchange for loans in building a Catholic church, the negotiation before the impasse created by the parish priest, resulted in a violent action on the part of slaves as a means of ensuring the freedom, which resulted in the imprisonment and escape before the action of forces repressor as local police. For those of enslaved blacks Queimado that means having the Charter of Alforria; or leave the legal condition of captive to become owners of their freedom in terms of what this means in the sixth century XIX.
