from words used in France's ever so important Declaration of the Rights of Men. This constitution did not address the issue of Slavery , which was not mentioned. By 1825, in exchange for Brazil's recognition, Emperor Pedro agreed to settle Brazil's debts with Great Britain, and finally agreed to end the importation of slaves by 1830. However, while this was a win for human rights, this angered Brazil's planters who were benefitting financially from slave labor. Trouble came for Pedro following…
