The Revolta dos Malês was a significant slave rebellion that took place in 1835 in Salvador, Brazil. It was led by enslaved Africans, primarily of Muslim descent, who sought to overthrow their oppressors and gain freedom. The revolt was notable for its organization and the involvement of educated leaders, which set it apart from other uprisings of the time. The rebellion began on January 24, 1835, and involved around 600 participants. Although the revolt was ultimately suppressed by the authorities, it highlighted the struggles of enslaved people in Brazil and raised awareness about the harsh realities of slavery. The event remains an important part of Brazilian history and the fight for freedom.
