A farmer bought a giant slave for seven cents⊠No one imagined what he would do with her. Everyone mocked him when he paid only seven cents for a woman nearly two meters tall, considered useless by the other buyers. They said no job suited her poorly controlled strength and that she would only be a source of losses. But the farmer looked at her differently, as if he could see beyond the words. That night, he took her to the stable, not to make her work, but to train her in secret. The auction took place on a sweltering morning in February 1857, in the central square of Vassouras, in the countryside of Rio de Janeiro. The ParaĂba Valley smelled of ripe coffee and human sweat. Dozens of farmers crowded around the wooden platform, where men, women, and children were displayed like cattle. The auctioneer, a heavyset man with a twisted mustache and a shrill voice, announced each lot with the enthusiasm of a seller of purebred horses. When it was her turn, the silence was immediateânot out of admiration, but discomfort. The woman stood 1.95 meters tall, perhaps more. Her shoulders were as broad as a manâs, her hands enormous, her bare feet leaving deep marks on the wooden platform. Her torn coarse cotton dress barely covered her angular body, its lines and muscles marked by hunger and forced labor. Her black hair had been shaved off. Her deep, dark eyes did not look at anyone; they drifted into the void, as if she were somewhere else.âHer name is Benedita,â announced the auctioneer, his voice losing enthusiasm. âTwenty-three years old, from the RecĂŽncavo Baiano region, strong as an ox.â But⊠and here he paused awkwardly⊠âno overseer has managed to tame her. She has already been to four farms. She obeys no orders. She is not suited for the fields, not suited for the big houseâshe only brings headaches.ââDoes anyone offer five rĂ©is?â Silence fell over the square. No one raised a hand. Three rĂ©is. The auctioneer lowered the price, almost pleading. Nothing. Two rĂ©is. Silence. One rĂ©is. The farmers began to disperse, losing interest. Then a deep voice from the back of the square broke the silence: âSeven cents!â Everyone turned. It was Joaquim Lacerda, owner of the Santo AntĂłnio farm, a medium-sized plantation of 320 hectares of coffee trees employing about 80 forced laborers.A man in his fifties, with gray hair, a trimmed beard, and simple but clean clothes. He was neither rich nor powerfulâjust a farmer barely surviving, always in debt to the bank, always calculating every cent. The other buyers laughed.
