📅 12 Augustus 1798 📍 Brazilië

On 12 August 1798, Salvador awoke to handwritten notices calling for a republic, political equality, and an end to slavery. The movement, known as the Conjuração Baiana, Revolta dos Alfaiates, or Revolta dos Búzios, drew in soldiers, artisans, free people of color, and enslaved people. Its radical social base distinguished it from elite-centered conspiracies. The surviving notices and court proceedings expose political ideas that colonial authorities sought to punish and suppress.
