NAME:
1) During the 19th century, the use of European settlers in the coffee plantations of São Paulo began. In a short time, the partnership system proved to be a failure, including on the farm of its creator, senator Vergueiro. This fact is explained because:
a) The immigrant did not adapt to the tropical climate and agricultural work.
b) The indebtedness of immigrants, the extra work and the relationship with slave farmers made the system unviable.
2) The growth of coffee cultivation in the second half of the 19th century, in the southeast region of Brazil, is great. The need for labor influenced the arrival of European immigrants to Brazil, contributing to make society more complex. The European immigrant:
( ) Adapted to working conditions without major difficulties;
( ) Culturally contributed to changes in social habits;
( ) It was protected by special legislation that enabled it to face the large farmers;
( ) Had a good relationship with slaves, participating in the fight for abolition;
( ) Had initial difficulties in adapting, despite the good will of farmers, interested in increasing exports.
3) The adoption of the partnership system, as an alternative for the supply of free labor in the coffee plantation, represented an experience:

b) After 1822 the new imperial government sought to bring European immigrants to colonize the vast Brazilian territory. The immigration of Germans, Swiss and other Germans would dominate the first half of the nineteenth century.
c) From about 1880 onwards, the problem of manpower to maintain the coffee plantations, the basis of the national economy, would cause an explosion of immigration in Brazil.
d) Within the issue of immigration, there were also other clearly racist motivations: to whiten Brazil, to civilize it.
e) The immigration process in Brazil was quite uniform, especially if we compare immigrants settled in Santa Catarina with those settled in São Paulo at the end of the 19th century.
5) Senator Nicolau de Campos Vergueiro, between 1847 and 1857, was the pioneer in the use of labor from European immigrants, whose experience he had as a
immigrant characteristics

d) Chinese and Austrians, in the mixed slave system, on their cattle ranch in Rio Grande do Sul.
