A March “Crônica Negra” described people forced to work on Sundays and subjected to iron restraints, hunger, and punishment in Campinas. Reporting such conditions confronted the claim that enslavers exercised legitimate authority over labor and bodies. The newspaper’s account is advocacy and should be attributed as such; it gives evidence of the violence abolitionists denounced and of the risks borne by enslaved workers.
