Resumo: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of the transatlantic slave trade in the political history of Pernambuco between 1817 and the 1840s, through the trajectory of two major slave traders, father and son, who operated from Recife and their plantation, one of the largest in the province. Both of them always sided with the crown and the conservative party in provincial politics. The father, a Portuguese citizen, was arrested by the Republican government in 1817. The son was not white, nevertheless, he held a prominent role among Recife merchants and married the daughter of another important slave dealer, perhaps forming the wealthiest couple in Pernambuco. In the Atlantic slave trade scale, Pernambuco ranks fourth among the African slave trade destinations between the 16th and 19th centuries. The study of these trajectories helps us to understand the political role of major slave traders and their networks in the context of Brazilian Independence and the transition to legal businesses after the slave trade became illegal, in 1831.

Ambos estiveram sempre do lado monarquista e conservador na política provincial. O pai, português, chegou a ser preso pelo governo republicano de 1817. O filho não era branco, mas ocupou posição destacada no corpo do comércio do Recife e casou com a filha de outro grande negociante de cativos, constituindo talvez a família mais abastada da província. Na escala atlântica, Pernambuco está em quarto lugar entre os locais que mais receberam cativos da África entre os séculos XVI e XIX. O estudo dessas trajetórias, portanto, ajuda a entender o papel político dos traficantes e suas redes no contexto da Independência e da transição para negócios legais depois de 1831.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2022-12-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa históricaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/4410010.5433/1984-3356.2022v15nEspecialp118-145Antíteses; Vol. 15 No. Especial (2022): A independência do Brasil - 200 anos; 118-145Antíteses; v. 15 n.
