Abstract

The article presents a comparative analysis of customs records of Portugal and Angola between 1796 and 1807 and shows that the metropolis was responsible for more than half of the financing of slave trade in Angola during this period. In addition, it discusses issues related to the financing of ranson and transportation of slaves, reviewing the participation of colonial merchants in the business.
