📅 14 Mei 1873 📍 Brazilië

São Paulo Resolution no. 93 prohibited municipal licenses for enslaved people to work as coachmen for hire, cart conductors, or water sellers, while allowing a limited exception for private carriage service. The rule narrowed recognized routes into urban work and treated Black mobility as a matter of public order. Enslaved workers nevertheless remained central to transport, commerce, and household service across the province.
