This study investigates the newspaper A Redempção and the serial A Cabana do Pae Thomaz – a fixed section in the footer of the first page of the periodical. In addition to the analysis of some indispensable aspects to understand A Redempção – from the most bureaucratic part to the editorial board and its field of action –, we seek to understand the reasons that would have led the newspaper to choose literature, a translation of the american novel Uncle Tom's Cabin: or, life among the lowly, known in Brazil as A Cabana do Pae Thomaz, by author Harriet Beecher Stowe, to publish sequentially and continuously in its pages during the period in which it circulated in the province of São Paulo, between 1887 and 1888. Considering that newspapers actively participate in different historical processes, move in conjunctures and mobilize their readers to their demands, we try to unveil the arenas of struggle of A Redempção as an active vehicle of interests and intentionalities of the group that produced it, converging projects of Centro Abolicionista de São Paulo (Abolitionist Center of São Paulo), of Confraria da Igreja Nossa Senhora dos Remédios (Brotherhood of the Church Our Lady of Remedies) and other brotherhoods and associations of the period. It is worth noting that the abolitionist periodical is a relevant documentary source for understanding the struggles for the end of slavery in Brazil
