O objeto investigado é o contexto das mudanças da sociedade brasileira do século XIX, no qual emergiu a Lei do Ventre Livre de 1871. A referida Lei contemplou aspectos da educação das crianças nascidas livres do ventre escravo. De acordo com o texto legal, a propalada educação seria um fator de integração social dos negros, com uma gradual abolição da escravatura.
