Resumo: |
This essay consists of a study of the replacement process of slavery labor by free labor in the State of São Paulo. To achieve such objective, it aims to discuss the problem faced by coffee farmers to whom the imminent loss of slavery labor meant a real disaster from the operational perspective of the farms in that these farmers depended entirely on this unpaid production method to make the expected profit on their farms. The choice made by the farmers and the government of the State of São Paulo to search for an apparently more costly and logistically more difficult alternative of financing and bringing in European workers in detriment of the valuation of domestic free labor seemed very intriguing to us. The reasons for this choice are the aim of this essay. For a didactic reason, we have divided this essay into four chapters. In the first chapter we will briefly study the origins of the State of São Paulo, showing its conjuncture of few opportunities in the second half of the eighteenth century and beginning of the nineteenth century. In the second chapter we will study the domestic free workforce, analyzing how they managed to survive in the binomial system of the colony as well as their social life, which was violent many times and the constant wish to make an assertion through the use of force. In the third chapter we will study the labor laws of the imperial time of 1830, 1837 and 1879 and therefore we will show that the legal issue was a subterfuge for the elites of the State of São Paulo to impose their wish to bring in the European workforce. In the fourth chapter we will study the issue of immigrant workers on the coffee farms of the State of São Paulo; the labor systems employed, the problems of constant indebtedness faced by the immigrants, the conflicts generated as a result of the farmers ill-treatment, the rise in population and the occupation of the countryside of the State and finally the financial impact on the finances of the State of São Paulo caused by the subsidized immigration. In our conclusion we will present a summary of the consequences generated as a result of choosing immigrant workers, emphasizing that this option was to have a fundamental economic impact in the following years, not only in the State of São Paulo, but all over the country |
