Sumario: This research is concerned, primarily, with studying the legislation that was created to regulate the lives of persons brought from Africa to America, at first as slaves. Over the course of time, as massive numbers of Africans arrived in the seventeenth century the legal form of freedom for this population was born-this created a complex society that had an effect on the composition of social networks, the composition of social groups, and prohibitions/permissions, all of which is clearly seen through the attempts at legislative control imposed by the Crown. My revision of the laws of Indies shows the possibility of distinct paths of research. In the essay below, I will concentrate on integration, control and the structure of the social-legal group in question.
