📅 27 April 1840 📍 Venezuela

A decree of 27 April 1840 addressed what happened to manumisos after leaving their owners’ custody. It directed that they be trained in industrial or rural occupations, returned to free parents when applicable, or placed under contracts overseen by local manumission boards. Formal freedom therefore came with state-supervised labor arrangements and did not guarantee economic independence.
