Abstract

Following the enactment of the Eusébio de Queirós law under British pressure in 1850, the Brazilian Empire brought an end to the international slave trade. Illicit arrivals continued to occur, but around 1856 the trade was deemed extinct by the Brazilian authorities. This study discusses rumours and potential evidence of illicit trafficking on the brink of the repeal of the Aberdeen Act, which stirred up officials from the Brazilian Empire, as well as diplomats from the United States and the United Kingdom, and suggest a connection with the conclusion of the American Civil War, particularly Confederate emigration, and a racist organisation in the United States.

在巫师和食火者之间：1866-1870 年巴西非法奴隶贸易的最后记录

1850 年，在英国的压力下，巴西帝国颁布了 Eusébio de Queirós 法，从而结束了国际奴隶贸易。非法抵达的奴隶继续存在，但在 1856 年左右，巴西当局认为这种贸易已经绝迹。本研究讨论了在废除《阿伯丁法案》前夕非法贩运奴隶的传言和潜在证据，这些传言和证据激起了巴西帝国官员以及美国和英国外交官的不满，并表明这与美国内战的结束，特别是南方邦联的移民以及美国的种族主义组织有关。
