Wars in Jacuípe´s forests

Wars, Jacuípe Forests, Pedro IvoAbstract
This paper reconstructs the battles at the Jacuípe forest, between the provinces of Alagoas and Pernambuco in the 1840´s. There were several battles there since the Cabanos War (Cabanada) until the early 1850´s, when Vicente de Paula and Pedro Ivo were arrested and two military colonies were established in the area. One in each province. This study deals with the political disputes at the time, how the press became involved in those debates and attempts to identify the forest dwellers who fought in the war, how they lived, how they fought. Beyond the battles, the hand to hand struggle at the trenches, the burning of crops and homes of the so-called Cabanos, there was also a battle for the construction of a memory about those people and events. Pedro Ivo is maybe the most disputed personage in this battle. He has been portrayed both as a coward deserter and a hero of the liberals.
