Slavery was a commerce controlled by foreigners, like physician Robert Proust, pharmacist Gaspar Duprel, and Slave trader Juan. B. Saubot in Ponce. The trading of negroes is evidence since 1816 but intensified in 1824. By 1825, Ponce was full of slaves. It continued fiercely until 1830 supported by local revenue and investments, however, never developed its own. Slavery grew parallel to the development of the "hacienda", and as such, to the wealth of the foreign businessman. These are considered the first golden years of Ponce's and Puerto Rico's economic development, which stimulated overall progress, and social well-being.
奴隶制是一种由外国人控制的贸易，比如庞塞的医生罗伯特·普鲁斯特、药剂师加斯帕尔·迪普雷尔和奴隶贩子胡安·B·索博特。黑奴贸易自1816年就有记载，但在1824年有所加剧。到1825年，庞塞到处都是奴隶。在当地税收和投资的支持下，这种情况一直激烈地持续到1830年，然而，它从未发展出自身特色。奴隶制与“大庄园”的发展并行，因此，也与外国商人的财富增长并行。这些被认为是庞塞和波多黎各经济发展的首个黄金时期，刺激了整体进步和社会福祉。
