context_page_description: Frederico Mariath was an admiral in the Imperial Brazilian Navy who participated in the Cisplatine War and some of Brazil's internal conflicts of the early 19th century.
context_section_description: In 1835 a rebellion broke out in the town of Cabanagem, Pará.  The rebels succeeded in taking the provincial capital, Belém, in response to which the government sent a combined naval and land force.  Although the government forces took the capital, the rebellion continued in the interior and the rebels eventually retook the city that August.
  Commander Mariath was sent as a replacement for the expedition's commander of naval forces, John Taylor. The navy proceeded to blockade the port, bombard rebel positions, land army troops, and conduct riverine patrols.  The rebels were pressed hard and eventually abandoned the city and retreated again to the interior, where they would continue to fight until 1840.
  1835 was also the year that a republican uprising broke out in southern Brazil, in particular the state of Río Grande do Sul.  This war was known as the Ragamuffin War.
  In 1838 the Imperial government named Mariath as military commander in the province of Santa Catarina, with the mission to confront the rebels.  (The revolution had extended to this province in the form of the República Catarinense.)
  On November 15, in command of a fleet of some 13 vessels carrying 33 guns and approximately 1000 men, Mariath defeated the republican forces under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Barra de Laguna.
