How Enslaved African Muslims and Freemen Revolted Against Colonialist in Brazil - Malé Revolt (1835)
The Malê Rebellion in Brazil, also known as The Great Revolt, was a Muslim slave rebellion in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, in January 1835.The uprising occurred on a Sunday during Ramadan when enslaved African Muslims and freemen rose against the government. One of the main reasons for the rebellion was to establish an African Islamic nation in Brazil. Local authorities learned about the rebellion, a day before the rebellion was supposed to start. The revolt leaders were ambushed by military forces and when they fired back, the uprising began. An estimated 600 enslaved Yoruba and Hausa Muslims then took to the streets of Salvador. They attack the military barracks that protected the city. However, due to their inferior weapons and their being outnumbered by Brazilian National Guard troops, Salvador Police, and armed white civilians, they were defeated. Despite the rebellion’s failure, many saw the Malê Rebellion in Brazil as the turning point of slavery in Brazil. In 1871, the so-called “Free Womb Law” declared all children born to enslaved women would be free. Slavery was officially and finally abolished in Brazil in 1888.
