On 1 January 1883, the village of Acarape in Ceará publicly marked the freeing of its remaining enslaved residents; it later became Redenção. The local campaign involved abolitionist organizers and the people whose legal status was being changed. The event was a municipal milestone, not the end of slavery across Ceará or Brazil. Freedom documents also did not by themselves provide land, income, or protection from coercive labor, so formal emancipation must be distinguished from material equality.
