Partido Farroupilha
The Partido Farroupilha ( German Farrapen Party or Lumpen Party ) was a separatist party that existed from 1832 to 1845 in the province of São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul , today the state of Rio Grande do Sul , in the Empire of Brazil .
The opposition magazines Jurujuba dos Farroupilhas and Matraca dos Farroupilhas had already appeared in 1831 . After the deportation of Lieutenant Luis José dos Reis Alpoim from Rio de Janeiro to Porto Alegre, Reis Alpoim founded the party in 1832 with headquarters in Porto Alegre . The registration took place in 1833. The meeting place was the house of Major João Manuel de Lima e Silva , which also served as the seat of the Sociedade Continentino , which was a mouthpiece of the separatists with the magazine O Continentino , which appeared from 1831 to 1833 . Their goals were to establish a federation with the other Brazilian provinces, nationalism and independence as a separate republic. It was directed against the centralism of the empire. In 1833 a branch of the Sociedade Militar , an armed vigilante group, was founded in Porto Alegre by the cattle breeder Tomás Joaquim Pereira Valente .
The Farrapen party won a majority in the First Legislative Assembly (Assembléia Legislativa) in the first election on April 7, 1835. In 1836 the party's supporters, the Farrapen, took control of the Legislative Assembly, which came to a standstill in 1837.
On September 20, 1835, the Farrapen Revolution began and the Riograndense Republic , also known as the Piratini Republic , was proclaimed. The uprising instigated by the Farrapen, in which German-Brazilians from the colonies in Rio Grande do Sul were also involved, was bloody. On March 1, 1845 with the reintegration of the republic as a province of the empire, the party was dissolved.
