SUMMARY:

This work aims to understand the expansion of the colonial frontier to the Lower Amazon region during the late 17th century and the first half of the 18th century. The period chosen refers to the first initiatives of Portuguese military advancement seen in  the  creation  of  colonial  administration  centers  in  the  backlands  –  fortresses  –  in Tapajós, Paúxis and Paru. The focus of the analysis is on expansion policies that involved individuals  committed  to  overseas  conquest,  being  rewarded  with  titles,  posts  and properties through what is called the "practice of mercy". Furthermore, it is highlighted how these individuals were involved in profitable businesses in the backlands, by sending canoes to collect drugs from the backlands and to bring indigenous people down, actions made  possible  when  navigating  the  rivers.  These  practices,  made  possible  by  the dynamics of the space, could or could not be aligned with the expansion objectives of the Portuguese  Crown.  The  sources  used  include  chronicles  and  documents  from  the Archives Histórico Ultramarino (AHU), Público do Estado do Pará (APEP) and Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT).
