Question 07 - Mackenzie 2016 - Regarding the Golden Law, read the text. “Actually, there was no longer any way to postpone the process.

The Treze de Maio redeemed 700,000 slaves, who represented, at that time, a small number in the total population, estimated at 15 million people. As can be seen, the liberation took too long, and represented the end of the last support of the monarchy:the carioca farmers in the Vale do Paraíba region, who were divorcing their former ally”.

Choose the alternative that contains the central issue for the “divorce” mentioned in the text. a) Within the ruling strata, gradual abolitionism was the main defense. However, the signing of the Lei Áurea, in 1888, was understood as a radical and desperate act of the Empire, resulting in a split between the farmers and the government. b) The definitive abolition generated material losses and led to the loss of prestige of a very active minority, extremely linked to the throne. The lack of compensation, therefore, sealed the break with the State and the adherence of that minority to republicanism. c) With the growth of the abolitionist campaign, the Empire could not deny more popular actions. The Lei Áurea represented the last act of a stable government without internal opposition, thus guaranteeing the beginning of a future Third Reign. d) Abolition represented the victory of more progressive sectors of society, represented by the farmer of Vale do Paraíba. Therefore, such an act put a brake, at least momentarily, on republican aspirations and gave the Empire a survival. e) Result of pressure from various social factors, abolitionism had its high point with the signing of the Lei Áurea. However, due to oligarchic interests, any measure in favor of consolidating the rights of the recently freed was curtailed.
