On 26 January 1654, Dutch authorities signed the capitulation ending their control of Recife and surrounding territories. The transfer changed the European power governing a major sugar-producing region but did not end plantation slavery. Portuguese rule consolidated again over a society built through land appropriation and enslaved labor. The event is included to show how imperial rivalry reshaped the administration of slavery without freeing those held in bondage.
