SUMMARY:

 

 João Batista da Silva and Antônio Vicente, two unrelated individuals who at different times committed the same crime, the illegal trade of brazilwood from the northern captaincies. During most of the 18th century, trade of Pernambuco brazilwood – which was the target of smugglers – was exclusive to a British company that had the contract for the consumption of that wood. With the monopoly of the Portuguese Crown on the exploitation of brazilwood established since the beginning of colonization due to the potential profit it presented, to cut costs and prevent embezzlement, the Portuguese government established its leasing. In which both extraction and trade in Europe were governed by contracts, which means that practices carried out outside these contracts constituted contraband. In this work we will study what the historiography says about what smuggling was in Brazil in the colonial period, and through documents from the 18th century about the crimes of João Batista da Silva and Antônio Vicente, we will seek to understand the functioning of the networks and the socioeconomic role developed for such a practice.
