On 6 November 1837, the Sabinada began in Salvador as a rebellion against the Regency. Free Black and mestiço residents supported it as a chance to challenge discrimination, and enslaved Brazilian-born men left their owners and joined rebel forces. The revolt’s socially conservative leaders tried to limit challenges to slavery, but enslaved people’s actions disrupted those limits. The Sabinada was not a unified abolitionist movement; its history shows how people at the bottom could push a political revolt beyond elite intentions.
