Description
Summary:This article aims to analyze the emergence processes of Brazil as an autonomous political body and its structuring as a national state in the first half of the 19th century. My objective is to investigate the connections and mutual relations between the captaincies / provinces of Bahia, Cisplatina, Grão-Pará, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul, between 1817 and 1850, through the movements of political contestation and civil war that occurred in these places. I present the hypothesis that when they got closer due to the insurgency movements, groups that were politically active in these places shared experiences and learnings, helped to create a shared space and a common language that provided elements for the construction of the State and the nation in Brazil. Therefore, Therefore, I seek to understand how these relationships occurred, the politicization and militarization of these ties in a context of political effervescence, treated as demonstrations of the changes of the advent of modernity in the western world. As main sources I use correspondence and the press.
