A document dated 21 December 1852 set out the distribution of 50,000 pesos from the national budget to provincial manumission funds. It put public money behind gradual emancipation, but the archive records the allocation, not how much reached enslaved people or produced freedom. The policy still compensated owners and depended on a bureaucratic process.
