This article is a study on some aspects of the legal culture and resistance was used by the enslaved as a means of accessing liberty and freedom through different ways. The objective was to qualitatively analyse two specific cases that occurred in the Pacific-New Granada during the first half of the 19th century. The first is about the uprising of a crew of the San Juan mine in Micay in the context of the wars for independence, and the second, about a woman from Lloró (Quibdó), who under the support of the manumission law of 1821 undertook a judicial fight to defend her son's right to liberty. From these, it shows the use of legal culture as a form of agency and resistance by the enslaved population.

Keywords : slavery; freedom; New Granada Pacific; resistance; legal culture.
