Amazonas (Brazilian State) - Captaincy With Grand Para

Captaincy With Grand Para

In 1772, the captaincy was renamed Grand Para and Maranhao, and Rio Negro was dismembered. With the changing of the royal family to Brazil, manufacturing was permitted and the Amazon began to produce cotton, rope, turtle butter, ceramics and candles. The governors who did most for the development so far have been Manuel da Gama Lobo d'Almada and João Pereira Caldas. In 1821, Grantham and Rio Negro province became the unified Grand Para. The following year, Brazil proclaimed its independence. In the mid- 19th century were founded the first nucleus that led to the current cities of Itacoatiara, Parintins, Manacapuru and Careiro and Moura . The capital was located in Mariuá (between 1755–1791 and 1799–1808), and São José da Barra do Rio Negro (1791–1799 and 1808–1821). A revolt in 1832 demanded the autonomy of the Amazon as a separate province of Pará The rebellion was suppressed, but the Amazons were able to send a representative to the Imperial Court, Friar José dos Santos Inocentes, who got up the creation of the District of the Upper Amazon. With Cabanagem in 1,835th - 1.84 thousand, the Amazon remained loyal to the imperial government and not joined the revolt. As a sort of reward, the Amazon has become an autonomous province in 1850, separating themselves definitively from Pará With autonomy, the capital returned to the latter, renamed "Manaus" in 1856 .
