On 25 March 1884, Ceará became the first Brazilian province to abolish slavery throughout its territory. This provincial act followed years of municipal emancipation, the jangadeiros’ refusal to transport enslaved people, and a broad abolitionist campaign involving Black men and women, workers, journalists, and local societies. Ceará’s abolition was consequential but uneven: the province’s economic structure and internal migration shaped outcomes, and the national slave regime remained in force elsewhere until 1888.
