This dissertation is a study of antislavery debates and abolitionist propaganda in late nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro. I examine how abolitionists countered planters' warnings that emancipation would bring economic ruin and social disintegration by publicizing romantic narratives of socio-economic renewal and political stability across the post-emancipation Atlantic world. I show how abolitionists drew on the histories they created of the United States and the Caribbean to develop a propagandistic post-emancipation vision, a broad program of agrarian reform which they called "rural-democracy." I argue that this hope that a revolution in agrarian life would resolve the problems of emancipation had two implications, both of which shaped race relations and politics after abolition in 1888. First, the allure of "rural-democracy" excused abolitionists from developing any parallel vision for city life. As slavery withered while Brazil's cities grew, the abolitionists' plan to remake the countryside became increasingly irrelevant. Second, this dream of agrarian reform became the ideological foundation for popular republicanism in Rio over the course of the 1880s. In 1889, when planters and middle-class republicans allied to overthrow the monarchy, populist Jacobins and repressive positivists, both of whom had very different visions for the Brazilian future, sidelined Rio's agrarian republicans. The alienation of these abolitionist republicans sparked an uneven process through which some abolitionist veterans began to glorify life under the monarchy. This nostalgia helped bolster the idea that Brazilian social and political relationships were once more fluid and inclusive, contributing to a growing mythology of Brazilian racial exceptionalism. As elites consolidated power in the new republican state, they used the narratives abolitionists had developed about the post-emancipation Atlantic to argue that Brazil's own freed people were comparatively and uniquely unfit for freedom. Combined with the unresolved problems of life in the cities, these comparisons helped publicly legitimate a range of racially repressive policies to ensure that emancipation led to the opposite of a "rural-democracy." Through a critical analysis of antislavery tactics, this dissertation contributes to a growing literature on popular antislavery in Brazil, while examining how an attempt to learn from transnational historical examples restricted the political vision of Rio's abolitionists.
