Adding to the 'Workforce' section, emphasizing the reliance on slave labor. The system was not sustainable without it[1]. Expand on the experience of slaves. May include photo of indigenous people being forced to work on coffee plantation too.[2]. Make it clear the system was built off the backs of slaves.

Add topic 'Fall of Slavery'. Will discuss the decision for Brazil to ban slavery[3]. Also, its implications for the coffee cycle. Stopping the influx of slaves sent ones already in the country to large coffee plantations, where the labor demand was significantly higher than smaller farms. The next step involved legislation saying that the children of slaves would be born free, though were forced to remain under the landowner's supervision for some years, and eventually lived a life pretty equivalent to that of a slave. This meant there was a very gradual decrease in the amount of slaves over the years, which began affecting coffee plantations more and more. No free citizens wanted to be worked like a slave on a plantation, leading to a labor shortage. This would mark the beginning of the end for the Coffee Cycle.

Add a section 'Rebellion'. Adding information about a slave revolt in 1882 in Sao Paulo. Also showing the power landowners had in the legal system, and what little the slaves could do to defend themselves.[4] WooBrazilHistJP (talk) 13:47, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220909134700","author":"WooBrazilHistJP","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WooBrazilHistJP-20220909134700-Proposed_Additions","replies":[]}}-->
