The first export from the colony was brazilwood, a tree that could used to produce a red dye. The economy soon transitioned to the production of sugarcane, and eventually the mining of gold. During this time, of the 12 million people stolen, enslaved, and brought to the Americas from Africa, 5.5 million people were brought to Brazil, which is more than any other place. Additionally, indigenous peoples were forced into slavery. Therefore, the Brazilian economy was built upon the institution of slavery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Politics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, Portugal thought of Brazil as more of a tradepost than a place to settle. However, in order to maintain their claimed territory they had to settle it. Lower nobility (high nobility didn&#8217;t risk their land and wealth) were given the title of captain-general of portions of the colony and a tax system was implemented. Only two of the thirteen captain-generals succeeded economically, the rest of the land was sold back to the Portuguese Crown in the 1700s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ideology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesuit missionaries began going to the Brazilian colony in 1549 to convert the indigenous peoples. The Jesuits organized villages for religious conversion called aldeias, where they controlled the labor of the natives. However, eventually, their control was dissolved by the Crown, who wanted the power (indigenous peoples were no longer in a state of legal &#8220;dependency&#8221; on Jesuit missions, and the Jesuits were expelled from the empire). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Sources<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more has-extra-small-font-size\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mkjablon2\/2023\/09\/08\/hello-world\/\" target=\"_self\">https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/fivecenturiesofchange\/chapters\/<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Colonialism<\/span><\/a>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more has-extra-small-font-size\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mkjablon2\/2023\/09\/08\/hello-world\/\" target=\"_self\">https:\/\/brazillab.princeton.edu\/research\/racialized_frontiers#:~:text=Brazil%20was%20built%20on%20the,1540%20and%20until%20the%201860s.<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Colonialism<\/span><\/a>\n\n<a class=\"wp-block-read-more has-extra-small-font-size\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mkjablon2\/2023\/09\/08\/hello-world\/\" target=\"_self\">https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/humanities\/art-americas\/new-spain\/colonial-brazil\/a\/an-introduction-to-colonial-brazil<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Colonialism<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blog Two The Portuguese colonization of Brazil has left a lasting impact.
