a) Palmares was the largest and most enduring slave quilombo during the colonial period. More than a simple stronghold of fugitive slaves, Palmares had a political and military organization involving several mocambos (Macaco was the most important of them), which spread across Serra da Barriga (in the current state of Alagoas). It constituted a strongly hierarchical society, whose economy was based on subsistence agriculture and exchanges with neighboring villages and farms. Palmares grew a lot during the Dutch occupation and resisted several expeditions organized by the colonial authorities.

b) In the 17th century, the expeditions organized by the Paulistas aimed, especially, at imprisoning Indians to be used as labor. work on farms and mills, and seek out precious metals and stones. There were also expeditions to combat indigenous groups that attacked farms and villages, and others that sought marketable drugs from the sertão or sought new avenues for trade with inland regions and close to the La Plata basin. Often these objectives appeared mixed and departures to the sertão could be organized either by private initiatives or by the colonial authorities.

He became a symbol of black resistance in the fight against slavery, gaining great prominence in the Brazilian black movement, which mobilized for the day of his death to be considered a milestone in the fight against oppression and racial discrimination.
