It's so early yet we are still forced to work, something has to change
Slide: 2
I know, but we can't stay silent anymore. It's time for things to change.
You can't Joaquim! Be careful, careful at least. Barão, he won't hesitate..

This is bad, I hear news of a law banning slavery, and my slaves are growing discontent. I must do something...
Slide: 4
We must unite the other slaves and demand better conditions
I hear you, I am discontent as well
Slide: 5
Just what are those 2 slaves discussing, I must punish them to prevent insubordination
Slide: 6
And I know exactly what to do hehe...
Slide: 7
So what we discussed? Alright.. In one week, on Saturday it will happen
Slide: 8
WHO SAID YOU TWO COULD STOP WORKING, GET BACK TO THE FIELDS!
Mr. Barao, what is he doing here
Slide: 9
He must've caught wind of what we were planning
Slide: 10
What must've happened to Joquim... He should've been back 4 hours ago
Slide: 11
I think i know why.. Is it that foolish movement you wanted to start
Barao made me and Marcus stay an extra 5 hours... I have no clue why
Slide: 12
I'm so tired, Marcus seems to be ignoring me after what happened yesterday
Slide: 13
Everyone! We must unite, I hear a law is going to pass banning slavery.
I don't see Marcus, did he really quit after what happened last time?..
Slide: 14
Oh no! Why is he here, he's really going to kill us this time
A GATHERING? YOU GUYS ARE ALL DEAD!
Slide: 16
Yeah, keep working slaves, this is what you get for rebelling...
Slide: 17
SLAVE? What are doing in my quarters? I can have you killed
Well actually, we aren't slaves anymore.. An act just passed on May 18, 1888, today, that outlawed slavery in Brazil.
Slide: 18
And if you don't give us proper working conditions and pay, we won't work anymore and leave.
Slide: 19
I knew Marcus wouldn't leave us.. Hurray!!
Slide: 20
Wow, after the Golden act of 1888, many free slaves still couldn't find meaningful employment however some plantation owners decided to keep slaves as workers and improved their living conditions and pay
How does he know all that?
