This research analyses the Convention of 1817, signed by Portuguese and British governments in order to settle some articles of the 1815's Treaty that determined the abolition of the slave trade North of the Equator. By discussing the Convention we intend not only to reenact the political debate on slave trade, but also the social and economical consequences of the Convention on the Portuguese Empire and the interests of trans-atlantics groups involved in that commerce.Downloads
