O começo da Revolução de 1842 em Lorena

Abstract

As an introduction, the author presents a short appreciation of the causes which led to the outburst of the seditions movement in 1842. He outlines the historical background of the events in Lorena and Silveiras. He tries to explain the reasons for personal involvement in the revolutionary process caused by hatred between the Brazilian and the Portuguese people. He reminds us of the geographical importance of Lorena and the chacteristics of its inhabitants. He demonstrates how gossiping incites animosity. He ends up with the proceedings and their results.
