Abstract

The aim of our paper was to introduce the public not only to the multiple aspects of the Praieira Rebellion, but also to foster the debates concerning crucial problems that, if one has the Praieira movement as a focal point, might be further researched. That rebellion is much more than an event, it is above all a microcosmos that enables a closer look on different aspects of the Brazilian imperial history. Furthermore, the Praieira Rebellion has an advantage when compared to other movements from the same period: many scholars have already researched and written about it, and there are is a handful of sources available for further studies.
