Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to analyze the arguments that question the legitimacy of the Crown of Portugal on the captaincy of Pernambuco presented in the Preciso manifesto, made by the rebels of the Pernambucan Revolt of 1817.

This ascertainment allows us to point out permanences and perceive the experience of the passage from one paradigm to another by the people of Pernambuco.
