It still remains in the story of Sergipe, mainly in the capital Aracaju, many question marks about what happened with the old slaves and their descendents right after the abolition of the captivities in may 13th of 1888 with the signature of the Áurea law. To other places in Brazil, with the creation of a discussion group about the period after the abolition, such discussions attracted many researchers, reviewing old propositions and boosting new studies in a way that contributed to the configuration of a promising picture. The goal of this research, through the social story, mainly to theoretical reference developed by E. P. Thompson (1997; 1998; 2001), it brought the referred debate to the historical context of aracaju, identifying and analyzing individual and colective of old slaves and their descendents trajectories, expectations around liberty, the struggles for the extension of the rights, the ways of the reception and celebration of the good news of the abolition, including the social relation developed by these characters of the scenery of Sergipe, mainly in the capital Aracaju at the end of XIX. Therefore, the research is divided in three moments.
