As diferenças entre o escravismo gaúcho e o das 'plantations' do Brasil - incluindo no que e por que discordamos de F. H. C.

Resumo

We show that the slavish society in Rio Grande do Sul was not just an
underdeveloped form of the plantations slavery but a totally different one. A
host of determinations set this difference: the border situation, the non-slavish
large landed estate, the production for the Brazilian market, the particularities
of the Province classical slavish firm — the charqueada —, the presence of the
colonization with immigrants who were small proprietors, but specially because
of the absence of the fundamental classes of the Brazilian slavery: the rural
slaves and lords of the plantations
