📅 9 Mei 1883 📍 Brazil

On 9 May 1883, the Confederação Abolicionista was organized in Rio de Janeiro to coordinate antislavery societies from multiple provinces. The network advocated immediate abolition without compensation to enslavers and circulated a manifesto that linked abolition to wider questions of land and social power. Its broad reach did not erase differences among local movements or replace the initiative of enslaved people and Black activists, whose resistance made slavery harder to enforce.
