RESUMO

In Maranhão, from the 1870s, the commercial agriculture with slaving base started to ruin, promoting the break between the ideological rationaliy and the social and political base that were the roots of the relations based on domination. In order to recompose the balance, sectors of the dominant classes used "the image of the crisis" as an ideological strategy. Slavery was presented as the structural factor. In the process of construction and dissemination of the arguments that were elaborated to persuade the other social classes about the "crisis", the journalistic press had a significant action because, due to their ideological links with social classes from Maranhão, the news writers not only disseminated the news but also started a discussion about slavery in the context of crisis and showed some solutions for it.
