Around midnight on 5 November 1838, enslaved people at Fazenda Freguesia in the Vassouras region broke out of the quarters and moved to free their families. Manuel Congo, Marianna Crioula, and other organizers led a growing group that reached roughly 400 people and sought refuge in the mountains. This was a community rescue and flight from captivity, not simply a labor disturbance. The municipal account preserves several names, while the larger group remains mostly anonymous in surviving records.
