On 23 March 1832 colonial authorities adopted a regulation governing manumission, or an enslaver-authorized release from slavery. Freedom remained dependent on enslaver action and government approval, with procedural and financial conditions. The regulation required newly freed people to take family names, making state records useful to descendants while retaining colonial categories.
