| Summary: | The Education and exercise of the freedmen Act of 1813 was drafted by the Constituent Assembly immediately after having sanctioned the Decree “declaring free the children of slaves". This is a fundamental piece to understand the gradual nature of the abolition of slavery and citizen inclusion of African descendants in the Rio de la Plata.
