Escravidão e criminalidade: os campeiros nos processos-crimes na Vila de Piratini (1850-1870)

Abstract

This dissertation aims at the relations between slaves-lords and the free population, in the period between 1850-1870. Considering that many of the crimes-cases investigated and analyzed went from crimes to private property in the event of theft and robbery. The starting point for these analyzes is the guiding slaves who were accused of being responsible for these crimes. Homicides to free people were not within the lord / slave logic, and the attempt of insurrection on the part of the slaves fits into the disturbance of public order from the point of view of manor; I will also analyze the networks that formed these slaves, as well as their masters and the free people that appear during the analysis. Specific objectives are to understand what motivations led the captives to the practice of homicide in the village; understand the motivations that led the slaves to commit robberies and robberies; to investigate what led to the insurrection of slaves in the then Vila de Piratini, besides studying who were the masters and the slaves involved in the criminal processes.
