Lei Áurea
The Lei Áurea, or Golden Law, which abolished Black slavery in Brazil, was signed by the Imperial Princess Isabel on May 13, 1888. Isabel was acting as regent while her father, the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II, was out of the country. It marked the last of a series of laws enacted in the second half of the nineteenth century which gradually did away with slavery in the country. Brazil, which received the largest number of enslaved Africans during the time of the slave trade and is now home to the largest Black population outside of the African continent, was the last Western nation to outlaw slavery. The sixty-seven-years-long Empire of Brazil would come to an end the following year with the ouster of the Emperor and the establishment of an ostensibly republican government in 1889.
