\n- Origem: There are different theories for how this expression started being used, the most accepted is that the expression has its origins in the 19th<\/sup> century, when the English demanded that slavery was abolished in Brazil, threatening to cut funds for the production of coffee. Brazil then created laws to abolish slavery, which existed only on paper. This way slavery went on in Brazil for a few more years and the English were happy with the laws created.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
