Uitleg
Brazil’s abolition ended legal slavery, but freedom also involved material resources and rights. Racism can persist through institutions after formal emancipation.
The Golden Law immediately provided land and economic security to every formerly enslaved person.

Uitleg
Legal abolition ended slavery but did not itself guarantee those resources. Material inequality required further struggle.
