On November 8th of 1798, four men were hanged and quartered in a public square in the city of Salvador. Condemned for conspiracy against the Royal Government of Portugal, the tailors João de Deus do Nascimento and Manuel Faustino and the soldiers Lucas Dantas de Amorim Torres e Luiz Gonzaga das Virgens e Veiga were identified by the chief judge of the Tribunal da Relação of Bahia as the only protagonists of a movement known nowadays as Conjuração Baiana de 1798. The tragic end of these men was considered by the 19th century’s historiography as a social anomaly and a demonstration of the barbarity skilfully suppressed by the royal authorities. However, according to the intellectuals of the 20th century, the event was the most popular revolt that preceeded the political emancipation of Brazil, in 1822 and A Primeira Revolução Social Brasileira, a book by Affonso Ruy, is a notable example of this interpretation. After the celebrations of the first centenary of Brazilian Independence, it is possible to say that the historians not only spreaded out the social basis of the event, originally confined to the medium and low portions of Bahia’s society at that time but also – by making an historiographical inversion of the extreme points of the analyses transformed it in a turning point of our national history. To sum up, From the Sedition of the mulattoes to the Conspiração baiana de 1798, here we have a history of the historical memory of a native event which simbolic legacy of its protagonists has been constantly rehabilitated in order to act as a powerful instrument of analysis due to different circumstances.
