Abstract
The following work focuses on the written output of abolitionists and proslavers regarding the physical punishment imposed on slaves in the period before abolition in 1888. By analyzing reports, articles, and notes published in newspapers from Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, such an analysis aims to clarify the process of abolishing flogging to have taken place in October 1886, as well as its systematic noncompliance, whether by representatives of public authorities (to which the law is addressed) or by slave owners, whose right to discipline “their” captives was not affected by the text of Law no. 3310 of the Brazilian Empire.
