There are a lot of Swedish people who are aware of former Swedish colonies. St. Barthélemy in the West Indies, has many streets and towns named after Swedish people, exemplified by the capital Gustavia, named after King Gustav III. What many fail to learn about however, is the fact that slavery and slave trade is a relatively large part of Sweden’s cultural heritage. These are events that Sweden doesn’t seem to want to remember.   This study aims to look at Swedish history books to study historical writing about Sweden’s involvement in slavery and slave trade. The study will also analyze the social debate regarding slavery in Swedish newspapers, in an effort to showcase why these historical events have been forgotten and purposely evaded. The study will make use of theoretical standpoints revolving around historiography and use of history.   The results show that social debates in Swedish newspapers is largely in agreement regarding the grim nature of slavery and the shameful historical events that transpire. In addition to this, the papers seem to be in agreement regarding the need to address this part of Sweden’s history in an effort to tackle future conflicts facing multicultural countries such as Sweden. In regard to history books, the result is telling. In essence, history outside of Europe has been neglected, and thus Sweden has been allowed to create their own historical narrative, leaving slave trade beyond the horizon.

Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar a relação entre crimes e direitos escravos em Pelotas entre os anos de 1845 e 1880. A investigação concentrou-se no exame dos assassinatos de capatazes nas charqueadas de Pelotas e suas relações com a luta pelos direitos dos cativos. Desse modo, buscou-se avaliar a percepção dos escravos sobre seus direitos em relação aos castigos aplicados pelos representantes do mando senhorial. Igualmente foi objeto de análise os crimes cometidos com o objetivo da compra da liberdade, da busca por um novo senhor, dos assassinatos como defesa da prerrogativa de um “bom governo dos escravos” e da compreensão sobre o modo como esses direitos se propalaram entre os cativos. A compreensão da luta pelos direitos dos escravos foi ainda problematizada por meio da abordagem dos embates travados na arena jurídica envolvendo episódios de redução de pessoas livres à escravidão. A documentação que sustenta este estudo são: processos criminais, jornais, além de correspondências da Câmara Municipal de Pelotas e o fundo do Ministério de Relaciones Exteriores que se encontra no Archivo General de la Nación em Montevidéu. / This thesis aims to analyze the relationship between crimes and slave rights in Pelotas between 1845 and 1880. The investigation has focused on the examination of the murders of foremen in Pelotas charqueadas and their relationship to the struggle for captives‟ rights. Thus, the perception of slaves about their rights in relation to the punishments applied by landlord workers was observed. The crimes committed with the purpose of purchasing freedom, the search for a new landlord, the murders as a defense of the prerogative a "good management of slaves" and understanding about the way these rights spread among slaves, have also been an object of analysis. The understanding of struggle for slave‟s rights was still approached by legal perspectives involving episodes of becoming free people into slaves.

A atenção atraída pelas pedras preciosas possibilitou formar um ativo comércio, sustentado por redes de abastecimento que ligou aquela região ao litoral, aos sertões da província da Bahia, às províncias vizinhas, bem como estabeleceu diversas conexões entre a Chapada e outros países. Foi utilizada de forma ampla a mão-de-obra escrava em todos os setores da economia, com destaque para as atividades de mineração. Escravos de diferentes lugares foram direcionados para Lençóis, boa parte dos africanos desembarcados na Bahia nos últimos anos do tráfico negreiro também. Indivíduos que viviam restrições impostas aos egressos do cativeiro na província da Bahia ou mesmo em províncias vizinhas perceberam naquela corrida às minas uma possibilidade de melhor viver. São histórias que permitem observar, entre outros aspectos: a vida cotidiana dos escravos na Chapada; as possibilidades de ascensão; a dinâmica do tráfico transatlântico; o trânsito de cativos entre a escravidão e a liberdade; o estabelecimento de laços afetivos; a difusão de redes de solidariedade; a ampla utilização do braço escravo etc. É por meio desse enredo que essa dissertação propõe analisar as estratégias de sobrevivência, as redes de relações pessoais, familiares, étnicas e as diferentes formas de solidariedade entre escravos e libertos em Lençóis no tempo dos diamantes. In 1844, the discovery of Diamonds in Chapada Diamantina turned that region, previously sparsely populated, in one of the most dynamic areas of the province of the state of Bahia. The attention attracted by precious stones enabled from an active trade, supported by supplies networks that connected the region to the coast to the hinterlands of the province of Bahia, to neighboring provinces, as well as it has established several connections between Chapada Diamantina and other countries. It was used a widely hand-slave labor in all sectors of the economy, specially mining activities. Slaves from different places were targeted to Lençóis, most Africans landed in Bahia in the last years of the slave trade as well. Individuals living restrictions on graduates from captivity in the province of Bahia or even in neighboring provinces realized that race to mine a chance to better living. These are stories that allow us to observe, among other things: the daily lives of slaves in Chapada Diamantina; possibilities of ascent, the dynamics of transatlantic traffic, the transit of prisoners between slavery and freedom; establishing affective ties; diffusion networks solidarity, the extensive use of slave labor etc. Based on this plot, this essay proposes to examine the survival strategies, networks of personal relationships, family, ethnic, and different forms of solidarity among slaves and freedmen in Lençóis during the age of diamonds.

In the fall of 1864, Maryland became the first Border State to abolish slavery with the adoption of a new state constitution. In order to best understand the evolution of this event, the purpose of this study was to examine the civil-military relations of Maryland during the Civil War and how these relations affected the institution of slavery in the state. Therefore, the main argument is that the conflict between military and civil authorities in Maryland during the war revealed two points: first, that the federal government maintained a faithful vigilance over the state during the war and second, that the federal government exploited a fading slavery system to not only eliminate any possibility of Maryland entering the Confederacy, but also destroy any degree of Border State neutrality. / by Brian Thomas Dunne. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Considering the space as a relevant category in the subservient relationship, we investigate how negotiations about the captivity conditions and freedom took place in the domain of this province. The slaves are considered as subjects, who fought for better living conditions in the captivity and who sometimes practiced criminal offenses to achieve freedom. To analyze their actions in the socio-economic environment of the province, we resort to different types of sources. They are: civil and criminal processes, reports from the president of Rio Grande do Norte, the census of 1872, a newspaper called O Assuente, the Livro do Fundo de Emancipa??o do Munic?pio de Pr?ncipe (1873-1886) (The Emancipation Book of Pr?ncipe city) and Imperial Laws. We used the following steps to analyze the data obtained from these sources: the compilation, reading, paleographic transcription, classification of the data according to the thematic, analysis and comparison of information and statistic quantification, submitting empirical data to the discussion built according to the historiographies debates about this subject / Esta pesquisa tem como finalidade estudar as a??es escravas na Comarca do Pr?ncipe, Prov?ncia do Rio Grande do Norte, (1870/1888). Tomando o espa?o como uma categoria significativa na rela??o servil, investiga-se como ocorreram as negocia??es sobre as condi??es do cativeiro e liberdade na jurisdi??o da Comarca do Pr?ncipe. Os escravos s?o entendidos como sujeitos que lutaram por melhores condi??es de vida no cativeiro e para alcan?arem a liberdade, por vezes recorrendo a atos considerados criminosos. Para apreender suas a??es nesse meio s?cio-econ?mico-ambiental da Comarca do Pr?ncipe, recorreu-se a variados tipos de fontes: processos c?veis e criminais, relat?rios do presidente da prov?ncia do Rio Grande do Norte, o censo de 1872, jornal O Assuense, Livro do Fundo de Emancipa??o do Munic?pio do Pr?ncipe (1873-1886) e Leis Imperiais. Para o tratamento e an?lise das fontes realizamos a cataloga??o, a leitura, a transcri??o paleogr?fica, a classifica??o das tem?ticas encontradas na documenta??o, a an?lise e o cotejamento das fontes e a quantifica??o estat?stica, submentendo os dados emp?ricos a uma discuss?o constru?da de acordo com os atuais debates historiogr?ficos sobre o tema
