What happened to the uprising of Brazilian slave Palmares?

The word "Palmares" in Portuguese means "palm", and the Brazilian black slave "Palmares Uprising" refers to an uprising held by Brazilian black fugitive slaves in the palm forest in the17th century, which is related to the environment in which the fugitive slaves resisted in the palm forest, so it is called "Palmares Uprising".

Since the middle of16th century, Portuguese colonists have been promoting large plantation slavery in Brazil. In A.D. 1532, the first slaves were brought to Brazil. A century later, the number of black slaves in Brazil reached 600 thousand. The enslaved black people couldn't bear it, and fled to the jungle in the interior to establish a stronghold, which was called "the slave-escaping fort". In A.D. 1630, the fugitive slave castles were unified, and the larger ones were Ta Pocas, Su Kupila and Makaco. According to the organization form of African society, the Black League of Palmares was established in the Barrig Mountain area of Pernambuco. The total area of the Union is equivalent to Portugal, and its capital is located in Makaco. There are administrative, military and judicial institutions, and there are rudiments of the country. At its peak, it had a population of about 20,000.

The rebels elected Ganja Zubar, known as Zambi, as the ruler for life, and he appointed his relatives as assistants or leaders of the fugitive slave fort. Residents grow crops such as sugarcane, cassava, bananas, corn and beans on the allocated land, and exchange a small amount of things with neighboring Portuguese and Dutch immigrants and Indians. Handicraft production is quite developed.

In the early days of the establishment of the Black State, the relationship between residents was equal, and the leader was democratically elected, so it was called "* * * and the country". The black country practiced the combination of agriculture and war, and trained an army of 6.5438+0 million people. During the war, they often made alliances with Indian tribes, prisoners of war were treated as slaves, and those who killed, raped, stole or fled were sentenced to death.

1694 In early February, Makako, the capital of Palmares, was captured, and Zambi led a group of soldiers to break through. On September 20th of the following year, Zambi was killed in the breakout because of his subordinates' mutiny. 1697 in may, the state of Palmares was finally destroyed.
