Hello!
The Pernambucan started in the province of Pernambuco during the year 1817. This revolution was caused for many reasons. First of all, it was marked by the decline of sugar production rates and the influence of the independence of the Spanish colonies all over South Amercia and also the presence of the Portuguese Royal family contributed to its outbreak.
Merchants and plantation owners were the only people who took advantage of the monarch's presence. However, other citizens were not satisfied with the Royal Family's stay since they did not agree with the politics of the monarch, John VI. The rebellion was carried out by planters who did not agree with the restrictions imposed by the colonial control of economy and who believed in the ideas of freedom which came from French philosophers.
