The Supreme Junta of Caracas prohibited the international introduction and trade of enslaved people. The measure did not emancipate people already enslaved, end domestic sale, or dismantle slaveholding. It restricted a supply route that had supported colonial bondage and was reaffirmed in the 1811 Constitution. The Junta’s decision shows an early republican government drawing a boundary around the Atlantic trade while leaving internal slavery largely untouched.
