Not to be confused with [Cabanagem](/source/Cabanagem).

The **Cabanada** or **War of Cabanos** was a [rebellion](/source/Rebellion) that occurred in the [Empire of Brazil](/source/Empire_of_Brazil) between 1832 and 1835. it started shortly after the [abdication](/source/Abdication) of [Dom Pedro I](/source/Pedro_I_of_Brazil), during the [regency period](/source/Regency_period_(Empire_of_Brazil)).

## Background

The new regime was facing financial difficulties, with foreign trade almost stagnant, cotton and cane sugar prices declining, and the privilege customs to England, in force since 1810, continuing. This financial instability led to riots that erupted throughout the [Empire of Brazil](/source/Empire_of_Brazil) in that period.

The Cabanada movement was active in [Pernambuco](/source/Pernambuco), Alagoas, and [Pará](/source/Par%C3%A1), but insurrections arose in different places and different times. The first one deals with the revolt in Pernambuco and Alagoas and the second in the Pará region.

## Pernambuco and Alagoas

In Pernambuco, where the rebellion was known as "The War of Cabanada," the conservative Cabanadas demanded the return of the Portuguese monarch to the throne of Brazil.[1] Rioting occurred in [Zona da Mata](/source/Zona_da_Mata_(coastal)) and [Agreste](/source/Agreste). Its leader was [Vicente de Paula](/source/Vicente_de_Paula), with followers of humble origin, predominantly Indians (Jacuípe and others) and [slaves](/source/Slave) on the run (called *papaméis*).

With the death of D. Pedro I in Portugal (1834), the movement had lost its impetus, and the rebellion ended with a peace conference arranged by Bishop [João da Purificação Marques Perdigão](/source/Jo%C3%A3o_da_Purifica%C3%A7%C3%A3o_Marques_Perdig%C3%A3o). Even so, the governors [Manoel de Carvalho Paes de Andrade](/source/Manoel_de_Carvalho_Paes_de_Andrade) and [Antonio Pinto da Gama Chichorro](/source/Antonio_Pinto_da_Gama_Chichorro) sent an army of 4000 soldiers to surround the place, arresting hundreds of insurgents.

## Pará

The insurrection of Cabanada in Pará was more severe because it was a nationalist movement and wanted the independence of the province. It lasted about 5 years, pacified by the [Marechal Soares de Andréa](/source/Francisco_Jos%C3%A9_de_Sousa_Soares_de_Andr%C3%A9a), [Baron Caçapava](/source/Baron_Ca%C3%A7apava) at the expense of several bloody conflicts and executions of insurgents.

At the end of Cabanada, the leader Vicente de Paula was arrested and sent to the island of [Fernando de Noronha](/source/Fernando_de_Noronha)
