Several debates about the servile issue were seen during the nineteenth century. This squabble was also reflected in the Espírito Santo province, having this as object of investigation. By the end of the years 1860 the emancipacionist movement started to be sketchy by the political and intelectual elites at nacional and local levels. In the year of 1867 the Speech from the Throne brought up significant questions about the servile problem and the possible ways to be taken in favor of the slaves freedom. The decades of 1860 and 1870 were periods of intense debate towards the emancipacionist and abolitionist Brazilian campaign. Especially in the decade of 1870, with the promulgation of the Ventre Livre law in 1871, there was a significant number of slave arbitration lawsuits in the Espírito Santo province, especially in the city of Vitória and its parishes. The intent of this research is to identify how the emancipationist process development in the Espírito Santo province happened from the understanding of the political culture of that society, having as study sources the debates pronounced in the space of the Provincial Chamber, concomitant to the slaves freedom lawsuits and two important periodicals: O Jornal de Vitória and A Província do Espírito Santo , because their editors and owners permeated the political and intelectual spaces of the nineteenth Vitória City. The period from 1869 to 1888 was considered as timeframe, mainly because in 1869 the first provincial law of emancipatory feature was promulgated, and the last mark refers to the plain and total extinction of one of the longer lasting institutions in the History of Brazil.
