On 17 December 1826, troops and militia attacked the Quilombo do Urubu, a community near Salvador that included fugitives, freed people, and Indigenous residents. Contemporary police correspondence describes the assault; later scholarship associates the community’s defense with Zeferina, though the surviving record does not securely establish her biography or fate. The event reveals quilombos as social and political communities, not simply hiding places, and demonstrates how official records name the force used to destroy them more clearly than the people who defended them.
