📅 13 November 1814 📍 Brazil

On 13 November 1814 tribunal ruling documented the Haussá-led revolt and imposed harsh punishment on survivors, including whipping, branding, forced sale, and deportation. The ruling is a state record that names some participants while reducing others to broad ethnic categories. Read critically, it shows how courts tried to break networks of mobility and community after revolt. It also preserves evidence that enslaved people coordinated across African identities and formed links with quilombo settlements.
