The first issue of A Redempção began a recurring “Crônica de Anos” column that named captains of the bush and other agents of recapture. Its editor, Antônio Bento, made the paper part of an organized abolitionist campaign. Read as advocacy rather than a neutral report, the issue shows how print exposed the local machinery that pursued people escaping enslavement.
