I'm certainly not stating this as fact, but a Brazilian person once told me that the law abolishing slavery in Brazil (she didn't mention Lei Aurea specifically) was only for the term of 100 years, meaning that theoretically, slavery could now be reinstituted in Brazil. (Not that there is any serious move to do so.) Maybe this isn't important, but it's sure interesting trivia. Does anybody know more about this?
- Could be, but the Portuguese Site gives a copy of what looks like the heading of the law, and it says that it makes slavery extinct. It seems pretty definate, but this isn't exhaustive research or anything. Kyle543 20:09, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
The above-mentioned copy is the complete law (it is remarkably concise) and it declares slavery extinct "from the date of this law", with no mention of a 100-year term. --- Mmcarvalho 18:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC).
