Zumbi dos Palmares

Durante tempos coloniais, escravidão era parte da estrutura social do Brasil. Escravos eram trazidos à força da África para trabalhar em plantações. Eventualmente, escravos fugitivos começaram a formar aldeias chamadas quilombos. Essas comunidades eram auto-sustentáveis e seguiam um modelo de república, em contraste com a monarquia portuguesa da época.

Quilombo dos Palmares, a mais famosa dessas repúblicas, era localizado onde hoje se encontra o estado de Alagoas. Palmares era tão grande porque se encontrava bem no caminho entre o oceano e Guiné, uma importante rota de tráfico de escravos.

Zumbi nasceu como um homem livre em Palmares em 1655, mas foi capturado e entregue a um missionário português aos 6 anos de idade. Ele aprendeu português e latim, e ajudava diariamente com a missa. Porém, apesar das tentativas de aculturá-lo, ele escapou de volta ao seu local de origem aos 15 anos, onde ele ficou famoso por suas estratégias militares.

Em 1678, o governador da capitania mais próxima ofereceu a Ganga Zumba, então líder de Palmares, um tratado de paz. Todos os escravos teriam sua liberdade se o quilombo se submetesse à autoridade portuguesa. Zumba ia aceitar o tratado, mas Zumbi não achou que seria certo que escravos de Palmares fossem libertos enquanto outros africanos ainda estavam escravizados. Graças à esta posição, Zumbi tornou-se o novo líder de Palmares.

Quinze anos após tornar-se líder, o quilombo foi invadido por militares portugueses e ele foi ferido. Dois anos depois, ele foi assassinado junto a 20 guerreiros. Sua cabeça foi salgada e exposta em público para desmentir a crença de que ele seria imortal.

Zumbi of Palmares

During colonial times, slavery was part of Brazil's social structure. Slaves were forcefully brought from Africa to work in Brazilian plantations. Eventually, fugitive slaves started founding "settlements of resistance" called "quilombos." These communities were self-sustaining and followed a republic model in contrast to the Portuguese monarchy of the time.

"Quilombo dos Palmares," the "most famous of these republics," occupied an area close to that of Portugal and was localized where the state of Alagoas is today. Palmares was so big because it was found right on the way between the ocean and Guinea, an important African slave trade route. The last leader of quilombo dos Palmares was Zumbi.

Zumbi was born as a free man in Palmares in 1655 but was captured and given to a Portuguese missionary at age six. He was taught Portuguese and Latin and would help with the daily mass. However, despite his master's attempts to pacify him, he escaped back to his birthplace at age fifteen where he became known for his military strategies.

In 1678, the governor of the closest capitaincy offered Ganga Zumba, then the leader of Palmares, a peace treaty. All runaway slaves living in Palmares would be given their freedom if the quilombo would submit to Portuguese power. Zumba was about to accept the deal, but Zumbi didn't think it was right for Palmares to be set free while there were still other Africans enslaved. Thanks to this position, Zumbi became the new leader of Palmares.

Fifteen years after Zumbi became leader, the quilombo was invaded by the Portuguese military and he was hurt. Two years later, he was murdered together with twenty warriors. His head was salted and exposed in public to contradict popular legend of him being immortal.
