O Navio Negreiro

Tragédia no mar

Castro Alves

4º

...

Era um sonho dantesco... O tombadilho,

Que das luzernas avermelha o brilho,

Em sangue a se banhar.

Tinir de ferros...estalar de açoite...

Legiões de homens negros como a noite,

Horrendos a dançar

Route Dória - An underground road for slaves

Father Doria in the year of 1832 began the first dispatch from San Sebastian to the city of Sao Jose do Parahitinga. Finding the ideal conditions to turn the trail on the road, Father Doria begins this year to build it and ends in 1836. In 1842, after his death, the road was closed, and by conflicting political interests,was forbidden to mention or publish documents and maps, this road that would later be called Doria, from 1843.

Since then, this way, he had the vision of the Father, progress and development for the Port of San Sebastian, becomes part of the intricate clandestine trade in slaves.

Africans were brought to Ilhabela, more precisely to the Bay of Castelhanos, in the dark boat and kept in quarantine of Stone's Farm,22km far from the village, later crossed to the other side of the island and taking acanoe and they paddled up the canal to San Sebastian where they climbed nearly 300m above sea level and they went to feedlots or farm ofJoaquim Pedro, now an archaeological site.

Months later they were taken to a slave house where they were sold to the Valley of Paraiba, Alto Tietê, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.

Two crimes are embedded in the context of the time:

It was not permitted from slave and then a new law reaffirms that the first is the Law Euzébio de Queiroz, 1850, and the second crime was not paying taxes to the Royal Crown , for the slave was regarded as acommodity and more expensive.

Thus, this road had one trading, supported by major clandestine slavery region until the abolition of slavery. Today we have in the region, where the route passes Doria,multiple inheritance left by the African Angolans Benguelas, these heirlooms have congoleses. These dances Mozambique, Congo,Jongo, Folia, São Gonçalo beyond samba, choro, among others. In the prayers and herbs, with enough food in the brown sugar and peanuts. In the color of truth as well occurs in the line below the equator. And the color of the full population of mixtures bringing the tone of your skin's DNA resistance.
