1852 CE to 1863 CE

Slavery is legally abolished in Angola in 1858.

Government slaves have already been freed in 1854, but the 1858 proclamation declares that all slavery should cease by 1878.

Legislation is passed to compensate owners and to care for the freed people, but many of the colonists find ways to circumvent the decree, so that the actual conditions of labor do not change significantly.\
