Resumo: This study will study how the illegal African slave trade built the Brazilian aristocracy in the beginning of Pedro II’s government. For this, we use “O Philantropo” and “O Grito Nacional” as sources, both belonged to the Brazilian liberal press associated with the emerging abolitionism in the late 1840s. We will analyse how this press highlighted the constitution of a slave trade aristocracy formed by slave dealers in the mid-19th century. Thus, our text is divided into four section. The first two will analyse the political affiliation of these newspapers and its denunciations of the formation of a slave dealer aristocracy in the Empire, whereas the last two will study this abolitionism, showing how anti-”Portugueseness” and the commitment to slave ownership exempted Brazilian society from responsibility for clandestinely sustaining the slave trade while exclusively blaming the Portuguese for the illegal African slave trade.

Utilizaremos como fuente la prensa liberal, asociada al abolicionismo emergente a finales de la década de 1840. A través del estudio de los periódicos O Philantropo y O Grito Nacional destacaremos la constitución de una aristocracia esclavista formada por hombres ennoblecidos por el gobierno brasileño.

En los dos primeros analizaremos la filiación política de estas hojas y las acusaciones sobre la formación de una aristocracia narcotraficante en el Imperio. En los dos últimos, problematizaremos la narrativa abolicionista de mediados de siglo, destacando cómo el antilusitanismo y el compromiso con la propiedad esclavista eximieron a la sociedad brasileña de la responsabilidad de sostener la trata ilegal de esclavos, al tiempo que personificaban al traficante exclusivamente en la figura del portugués.Nesse artigo analisaremos como o tráfico clandestino de africanos modulou a formação da aristocracia brasileira no início do reinado de Pedro II.
