Talk:Lei Áurea

Time limit
I'm certainly not stating this as fact, but a Brazilian person once told me that the law abolishing slavery in Brazil (she didn't mention Lei Aurea specifically) was only for the term of 100 years, meaning that theoretically, slavery could now be reinstituted in Brazil. (Not that there is any serious move to do so.) Maybe this isn't important, but it's sure interesting trivia. Does anybody know more about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.252.235 (talk) 04:13, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Could be, but the Portuguese Site gives a copy of what looks like the heading of the law, and it says that it makes slavery extinct. It seems pretty definate, but this isn't exhaustive research or anything. Kyle543 20:09, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

The above-mentioned copy is the complete law (it is remarkably concise) and it declares slavery extinct "from the date of this law", with no mention of a 100-year term. --- Mmcarvalho 18:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC).

sugar discussion
"For example sugar was produced both in Brazil and in the British colonies of the West Indies; the British strove to ensure that the Brazilians would get no advantage in the world markets by using slaves."
 * Illogical if to keep the slave was not profitable!! The thruth was England forced to abolish the slavry to open a new market of consumers. Period!!!   Who wrote the article about "Lei Aurea" has no clue of economy or history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.212.177 (talk) 00:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
