Abstract

This research intends to describe diplomatic relations between the United States, Brazil, and Spain concerning slavery and slave trade from 1831 to 1865. Its focus consists in identifying the making of an international proslavery block, able to assure, together with their respective national policies, the institutional stability necessary to reproduction and expansion of slavery, in a time of ever increasing abolitionism in the interstate modern system.
