1789: The Story of Tiradentes and the Smugglers - Pedro Doria

A Thrilling Tale of Revolution and Betrayal

In 1789, Brazil was a colony of Portugal, and the people were tired of being ruled by a distant king. They were also tired of paying high taxes and being forced to buy goods from Portuguese merchants. In this climate of discontent, a group of smugglers and revolutionaries began to plot a rebellion.

The leader of the rebellion was Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, better known as Tiradentes. Tiradentes was a charismatic and passionate man who believed that Brazil should be free from Portuguese rule. He and his fellow conspirators met in secret to plan their uprising.

The rebellion was set to begin on April 21, 1789. However, the Portuguese authorities got wind of the plot and arrested Tiradentes and his co-conspirators. Tiradentes was put on trial and sentenced to death. He was hanged on April 21, 1792.

Tiradentes' death did not stop the rebellion. In fact, it inspired others to fight for Brazil's independence. In 1822, Brazil declared its independence from Portugal. Tiradentes is considered a national hero in Brazil, and his story is still told today.
