 As a Brazilian, I should tell the article is STRONGLY biased towards a good image of Pedro. It sustains he "steadfastly pushed through the abolition of slavery" (not quite so), was overthrown by "coup d'état that had almost no support outside a clique of military leaders" (woefully innacurate: the coup had support from all ranks of the military, most of the farming oligarchy and the catholic church) and that he was weary of power regardless of strong public support. This article does not deserve a feature title at all.  

 "Historians have regarded the Emperor in an extremely positive light" (WEASEL). Who?? He did do a lot of great things to Brazil worthy of mention, but this is just too much.
