📅 13 Yüni 1777 📍 Venezuela

A royal order dated 13 June 1777 permitted merchants and planters in parts of colonial Venezuela to acquire enslaved Africans in foreign colonies, chiefly through exchanges involving livestock, provisions, and other exports. The policy tied the colony’s food and animal trade to Atlantic trafficking. The date comes from a modern scholarly study citing the Venezuelan National Archive; the order does not quantify arrivals.
