Sumario:This article analyzes the efforts of the republican state to incorporate slaves to the new social order, as free citizens. The mechanism for this was the legal emancipation, which failed in its attempt to incorporate the free slaves because they were still existing social and racial prejudices and inherited economic interests of the colonial system remained intact. The enslaved, following their traditional practice of resistance in contexts of domination, combined multiple strategies in pursuit of freedom and territory, developing autonomous spaces of social and ethnic construction. In the case of Esmeraldas this process was brokered by enslaved in the mining camps located north of the province, in the Santiago river basin.
