The '''Sabinada''' (1837–1838) was a revolt by military officer [Francisco Sabino](/source/Francisco_Sabino) that occurred in [Brazil](/source/Brazil)'s [Bahia](/source/Bahia) province between 6 November 1837 and 16 March 1838. The rebels proposed the existence of a [Bahian Republic](/source/Bahian_Republic) of a transitory nature until Emperor [Dom Pedro II](/source/Dom_Pedro_II) reached the age of majority.<ref name="hist">{{cite book|title=HISTÓRIA - História Integrada |volume=4|last=ARRUDA, ALVES DA SILVA, DE MOURA RAMOS, TURIN|first=José Jobson, Francisco, Ciro e Eva|editor=Objetivo|year=2014|place=São Paulo|pages=23|language=Portuguese}}</ref><ref name="souza">SOUZA, Paulo César. A Sabinada.

thumb|left|Map of the main revolutions that occurred in Brazil before 1840.
[Brazil](/source/Brazil)'s [Bahia](/source/Bahia) state had a history of rebellions, starting with the conquest of Bahia in 1798, Bahia's resistance to Brazil following the [Brazilian War of Independence](/source/Brazilian_War_of_Independence) in 1822–1823, the {{ill|Federation of Guanais|pt|Federação do Guanais}} in 1832, and the 1835 [Malê Revolt](/source/Mal%C3%AA_Revolt). After the 1837 resignation of regent [Diogo Antônio Feijó](/source/Diogo_Ant%C3%B4nio_Feij%C3%B3) of the [Empire of Brazil](/source/Empire_of_Brazil), military officer [Francisco Sabino](/source/Francisco_Sabino) rose up in rebellion, calling for the abolition of slavery and the redistribution of land. The rebel forces were mostly disenfranchised lower-class people and escaped slaves from the southern provinces.<ref>{{cite web|last1=|first1=|title=War of the Farrapos|url=https://www.onwar.com/aced/chrono/c1800s/yr30/fbrazil1835b.htm|website=OnWar|accessdate=5 April 2018}}</ref> However, the rebels received support from the knowledge of traitorous generals that shared their knowledge of the southern province's geography to the cause.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zalla |first1=Jocelito |last2=Menegat |first2=Carla |title=História e memória da Revolução Farroupilha: breve genealogia do mito |journal=Revista Brasileira de História |date=December 2011 |volume=31 |issue=62 |pages=49–70 |doi=10.1590/S0102-01882011000200005 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

The Brazilian government dispatched forces to subdue the Sabinada revolt, but many of the loyalist troops deserted to join the rebels. The rebels took over the regional capital of [Salvador](/source/Salvador%2C_Bahia), but they found little support, even from the slaves. In March 1838, Salvador was blockaded and besieged by the government, and about 1,000 people perished in the fighting. Some leaders were executed, some were exiled to remote places like [Mato Grosso](/source/Mato_Grosso), and some managed to escape and fight in the [Ragamuffin War](/source/Ragamuffin_War) for the [Riograndense Republic](/source/Riograndense_Republic).
