Resumo: The article tries to show how the Portuguese built their hegemony in the slave smuggling business to the Rio de la Plata during the first half of the 18th century. In the decade of 1730 a new conjuncture begins, marked by changes in the political context and the new Anglo-Spanish war that interrupted the operations of the South Sea Company on the River Plate. This paved the way for the predominance of the Portuguese merchants, with Luso-Brazilian traffickers gradually taking over the slave trade by establishing the necessary Atlantic connections to form a network of agents involved in the illicit trade of captives. Trans-imperial smuggling of slaves connected the Luso-Brazilian traffickers operating in the Colonia do Sacramento to the two main slave ports of Portuguese America (Rio de Janeiro and Salvador).

Na década de 1730 inicia-se um nova conjuntura, marcada por mudanças no contexto político e nova guerra anglo-espanhola que interrompeu as operações da South Sea Company no rio da Prata. Isso abriu caminho para o predomínio português, sendo que os traficantes luso-brasileiros passaram a tomar conta paulatinamente do negócio negreiro estabelecendo as conexões atlânticas necessárias para formação de uma rede de agentes envolvidos no comércio ilícito de cativos. O contrabando trans-imperial de escravos conectou os traficantes luso-brasileiros que operavam na Colônia do Sacramento aos dois principais portos negreiros da América portuguesa (Rio de Janeiro e Salvador).UFRGS2017-10-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/7062110.22456/1983-201X.70621Anos 90; Vol. 24 No. 45 (2017); 101-132Anos 90; v. 24 n. 45 (2017); 101-1321983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/70621/44008Copyright (c) 2017 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKühn, Fábio2019-05-30T13:46:19Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/70621Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2019-05-30T13:46:19Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
