📅 14 Ougùstùs 1810 📍 Venezuela

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.
