Abstract

With the start of the Nation States in America, settling territorial boundaries became mandatory, as shown by Bolivia and Brazil. Before that, fugitive slaves were the cause of various strategies and actions. Local authorities sought to defend the interests of their owners. Controversially, Bolivia was considered a "free land" despite keeping black slaves in its territory the fact that its people were persuaded by rewards given for those who helped catch fugitive slaved.
