>Inspired by the French and Haitian Revolution. Cabanagem, the biggest popular revolt in Brazilian history and the only one that managed to seize and remain in power for a period of time, faced Portuguese domination and was against the majority of whites who, in general, were the rich and rulers and formed a dominant minority. The population of Pará was 119,877 inhabitants at the time, of which 32,751 were indigenous, 29,977 were black slaves, 42,000 were mestizos. The White minority was 15,000, over half of them Portuguese>Many black slaves led the Cabanagem. Arms in hand, they demand that Angelim, the third white Cabano leader, formally abolish Slavery. Directed by former slaves, such as Negro Patriota, Diamante, Felix, Cristóvão and Belizário, they defend the rupture with the Brazilian Empire and a Free Black Republic, like Haiti. In this sense, Cabanagem was, in our history, something similar to the revolution led by slaves in Haiti (1791-1804), in addition to black slaves, there were indigenous and poor mestizos peasants who fought against Slavery, large estates and Genocide. In the top leadership of Cabanagem was a minority of white bourgeois and slave owners who were dissatisfied with the neglect abandonment of the Province of Grão-Pará by the Empire, who promised the mestizo, indian and black cabanos Equality and Freedom
