A unique event in Brazilian history, a revolt that took place in Bahia in 1835, the Levante dos Malês has attracted the attention of many researchers and has already received the most diverse interpretations. On the historical context of the Malês Revolt:
I. Although the Levante dos Malês is situated in a particularly troubled period of national life and is generally classified as another “revolt of the Regency Period”, this connection exists but is secondary. The Levant belongs, above all, to the tradition of slave rebellions in Bahia.
II. It has another singularity in relation to the others:the majority presence of Muslims (hence the name of Malê, as black Muslims were called in Bahia)
III. The rebellion (which must have had up to 600 participants) lasted only a few hours, during which the rebels became lords of the streets of Salvador. The revolt had repercussions throughout the Empire and abroad, remaining for a long time in the memory of the ruling classes of Bahia and even the Court, who took various measures to prevent another similar movement from taking place;
IV. Thousands of poor, black, indigenous and mestizo men and women who lived in simple houses in the city of Salvador participated in the revolt.
V. The rebellion would also have had a class orientation because it was made and directed mainly by slaves and because the anti-landlord language of the prisoners reveals their anti-slavery face.
The alternative(s) are INCORRECT:
A) II and I
B) III
C) V
D) IV
