Provincial Law no. 9 authorized expulsion of African freedpeople considered dangerous, restricted residence and property rights, imposed fees, and required a register recording name, African nation, age, likely residence, and occupation. It targeted African freedpeople as well as regulating enslaved Africans; it must not be mistaken for a register of enslaved people alone. The measure followed the Malê revolt and shows how Black agency was answered with racialized surveillance and limits on mobility.
