At 10 a.m. on 12 November 1838, police forces captured Manuel Congo and Mariana Crioula, leaders identified in the records as the “king” and “queen” of a quilombo formed by people who had fled coffee estates in the Vassouras region. Their capture followed a large-scale escape from enslavement and the creation of a maroon community. The authorities’ documents map the pursuit and repression; the people who fled made freedom through collective movement, refuge, and leadership.
