Abstract

Pedro Araújo Lima, Marquis of Olinda (1793 – 1870), was well known for his long journey traced, successfully, in the Brazilian imperial policy. As son of a Master of mill (Manoel de Araújo Lima) from Pernambuco, rose, politically, based on groups of enslaved traders that worked in that province. His closest relatives (nephews) bought and sold people, between the decades of 1930 and 1940, in the uncle eye. Our article has, as objective, to show the acting of Marquis of Olinda’s family in Atlantic trade of enslaved in the XIXth century. We begin from notes made by Manoel de Araújo Lima (secured in the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute), letters, (IHGB), periodicals (Digital Newspaper Library) and Post-Mortem Inventories (Archeological, Historical and Geographical Institute of Pernambuco) to realize how Olinda was involved in enslaved trafficking.
