Summary: We explore the business of the slaves from the current accounts as clients of a commercial house in a hinterland economy at the end of the slave period, including debits and credits, money and merchandise. The slaves delivered corn and beans and bought a wide range of products, including food, clothing and utensils. Almost a third of the occurrences referred to money, representing the main expense debited to slaves, including the payment to the slave owner. These numerous amounts of substantive values in just over a year demonstrate a repeated ability to do business with a trading house. Although only a small part of them can afford to accumulate money, only an even smaller portion can obtain freedom.

Os cativos forneceram milho e feijão e compraram um leque amplo de produtos, compreendendo alimentos, vestuário e utensílios. Em quase um terço dos lançamentos eles transacionaram dinheiro, representando a principal despesa debitada aos escravos, inclusive para o pagamento do seu escravista. Essas numerosas transações de valores substantivos dos escravos em pouco mais de um ano demonstram uma capacidade reiterada de manter negócios com a casa comercial. Embora apenas uma pequena parte deles alcançassem condições de acumular pecúlio, somente uma parcela ainda menor conseguiu sonhar com a liberdade.Universidade de São Paulo.
