After a careful review of Document 4.2 (pp. 69-72) and Document 4.3 (pp. 72-73) in Sources for Latin American in the Modern World, answer the following questions in 2-3 typed, double-spaced pages:
What kinds of documents are each of these, who is the author of each document and what do we know about them, and when was each document produced and in what context?
What are the key information, ideas, arguments, or pieces of evidence featured in each document? Which specific passages best illustrate these ideas?
How do these two documents differ in the picture they provide of slavery in Brazil? In what ways do they point toward similar conclusions?
What overall conclusions do you come to about slavery and the experience of enslaved people in Brazil after examining these documents? How can these sources help us understand this period in Latin American history?
