Description: "Slave insurrections and quilombos in mid-19th century Maranhão were linked to the effects of Paraguayan War on the province: the state withdrew regular troops and National Guards to fight in the south; draft evaders and deserters disrupted local society; and slaves had the idea that the war was in some manner linked to their freedom.
