In the
XVIIIth century, the main Brazilian economic activity became the gold. The blacks were
taken to the interior of Brazil, where, inside mines and margin of rivers, they sought
coveted metal.
The expectation of life of the black in that activity decreased, therefore the slave was
subject to bad weather . Even so, the fact of working amid the forest and without fixed
whereabouts, because they accompanied the cycle of exhaustion of the alluviums, the number
of escapes increased considerably.
The black's possibilities to win freedom from their master also increased, therefore they
were rewarded in case they found a great nugget of gold.
With the exploration of the gold, the cities appear inside Brazil . In the world of gold
the black started also to execute urban works:to sell products in the streets or to
prostitute by the owners' command ,was a more lucrative activity.
Many black slaves got to join money through the secret traffic of the gold or by
compensations they received, for services rendered in the streets and they could buy the
freedom.
The black, that worked in the streets, possessed a letter of circulation. The slave
apprehended without that pass would be tortured as fugitive
