The Aberdeen Act of 1845 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (8 & 9 Vict. c. 122) passed during the reign of Queen Victoria on 9 August. The long title of the Act is "An Act to amend an Act, intituled An Act to carry into execution a Convention between His Majesty and the Emperor of Brazil, for the Regulation and final Abolition of the African Slave Trade".
This law is seen in Brazilian historiography as a British retaliation against the Alves Branco Tariff, a tariff reform established in 1844 by Finance Minister Manuel Alves Branco that raised import duties[1][2] followed by the ending of the British-Brazilian Convention of 1826 on the Atlantic slave trade to Brazil.[1]
