The treaties to suppress the slave trade were the subject
of intense legal battles in the first half of the 19th century.
This book explores the legal disputes about the Anglo Brazilian treaty to highlight the political importance of what
initially looks like mere argumentative hurdles over the
rules and proceedings regarding the search and capture
of ships. It reveals the complex legal translations of state
inequality, abolition and slavery, as well as war and peace.
