After the exhaustion of the mines of gold in the central area of Brazil, the next Brazilian product of international expression was the coffee. Thousands of slaves migrated with their masters to the lands of the southeast. With the high profitability of the coffee, many other brought slaves from Africa arriving in Brazilian ports, and that became the most lucrative activity of the colony.
The slave of the culture of coffee retaked the same routine of the times of the sugar. It returned to the slave quarters and they started to work from sunrise to sunset under the vigil of the feitor.
In 1850, in the middle of development of the culture of coffee, the slaves' traffic was prohibited. This rule was fruit of international pressures, but mainly of the unsustainable relationship that had been created between afraid masters and slaves , because the resistance increased . Even so, the law of the traffic, didn't impede that more slaves entered in the colony to supply the needs of the coffee plantations. In that period the smuggling became a constant in the ports of Brazil.
