Law no. 3,270, enacted on 28 September 1885, regulated gradual extinction and provided freedom for some enslaved people aged 60 or older. Those freed at 60 could be required to provide up to three years of service to enslavers, with release no later than age 65; the law also tightened registration and control. It was a limited measure that treated freedom through age thresholds and service obligations, leaving the vast majority enslaved and protecting slaveholders’ interests.
