Abstract
En el presente artículo analizo el devenir del abolicionismo en
el Sexenio Democrático, valorando su empuje y el de los intereses esclavistas
opuestos. El artículo comienza con sus antecedentes en la España
decimonónica para, a continuación, describir el contexto en que
nació la Sociedad Abolicionista Española (1865). Después se desgrana
su actividad tras la Gloriosa (1868), prestando atención a los proyectos
de Manuel Becerra (1870). Por último, expongo las repercusiones de
la legislación de Segismundo Moret (1870) y Tomás Mosquera (1873),
ministros de Ultramar que anticiparon la supresión de la esclavitud en
Puerto Rico por la Primera República (1873).
In this article, I analyse the history of abolitionism during the Democratic Sexennium by considering its strength as well as the slaveowners’ resistance to it. The study of the first abolitionist initiatives in nineteenth-century Spain is followed by a discussion of the context in which the Spanish Abolitionist Society (1865) emerged. The article then moves to the Society’s activities after the Glorious Revolution (1868) by paying attention to the projects of Manuel Becerra (1870). Finally, I describe the repercussion of legislation proposed by Segismundo Moret’s and Tomás Mosquera. The projects of these Overseas Ministers foreshadowed the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico during the First Republic (1873).
