On 27 August 1798, Joaquim José da Veiga, Joaquim José de Santana, and José Joaquim de Siqueira gave public denunciations identifying João de Deus do Nascimento and Lucas Dantas as conspirators. Their testimony helped shape the colonial investigation and exposed the uneven risks faced by the popular movement. The denunciation recorded an alleged revolutionary demand to end distinctions between white, Black, and pardo people. Reading these proceedings critically means noticing both the political ideas preserved in the documents and the coercive state process that produced them.
