On 10 December 1852 the Caracas provincial deputation issued an agreement asking Congress to pass a law abolishing slavery. The appeal came after decades of gradual manumission that freed relatively few people and depended on inadequate funds. Provincial officials helped move abolition onto the national agenda, though enslaved people’s own resistance and claims for freedom remained central.
