Item Details
Description
[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Partially printed Spanish-language "Registro de Esclavos," a Puerto Rican registration document for enslaved infant "Jose Laurence." 29 July 1869.

1p, approx. 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 in. (top heading clipped, light soil and minor foxing).

"Folio Num. 3660" describes Jose  Laurence as a 27 day old "Recien nacido," or newborn. The registration includes the name of the child's mother and enslaver as well as the town in which the child is registered. The Spanish National Assembly finally abolished slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873, though enslaved individuals were required to continue working for their enslavers for three more years. Enslavers also received government compensation for each of their slaves upon emancipation, a monetary figure determined in part by these government registry documents.
