Em um contexto de pressão inglesa pela sua supressão e intenso debate sobre a escravidão e seu impacto sobre a vida social, econômica do País na metade do século XIX, Varnhagen defendeu a necessidade de se findar essa prática secular como uma das formas de auxiliar no desenvolvimento do Império, colocando-o na posição de nação forte e respeitável perante o mundo civilizado. Para tanto, fez-se necessário tratar com mais vagar da conjuntura política brasileira à época e como as questões do tráfico e da escravidão apareciam nos debates entre figuras destacadas do cenário letrado como José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, Bernardo Pereira de Vasconcelos e Tavares Bastos. O conteúdo do Memorial orgânico, portanto, demonstrava o quanto o historiador paulista estava atualizado com a agenda política do Império do Brasil em meados do oitocentos, usando sua experiência técnica para tratar de uma questão tão premente. Em 1850, pela Lei Eusébio de Queiroz, o tráfico de escravos para o Brasil foi finalmente abolido, a pressão britânica, mas também o medo de rebeliões, o surto de febre amarela associado com o tráfico e uma opinião interna antiescravista contribuíram para que essa medida saísse do papel naquele momento de consolidação do poder imperial no Segundo Reinado.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/3601810.15448/2178-3748.2020.1.36018Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2020); e36018Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2020); e36018Oficina do Historiador; v. 13 n. 1 (2020); e360182178-374810.15448/2178-3748.2020.1reponame:Oficina do Historiadorinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/36018/19708Copyright (c) 2020 Oficina do Historiadorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSá, Ana Priscila de Sousa2020-06-14T02:07:14Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/36018Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriadorPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/oai||tatyana.maia@pucrs.br2178-37482178-3748opendoar:2020-06-14T02:07:14Oficina do Historiador - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
