Convention of Gramido - Consequences

Consequences

The civil war that so frightened queen Maria II was thus ended and, despite talking in reconciliatory terms, the queen and the other leaders of the winning side remained truly resentful against the defeated Septembrists, not alway showing them the clemency they could justly expect. As a result of that attitude, the defeated were hunted down which created a new climate of instability that would inevitably lead to new revolt. This revolt broke out in 1851, and that would become known as the "Regeneração" (Regeneration).

The revolution of the Maria da Fonte was one of the outstanding episodes of the political history of Portugal in the 19th century. Among the many famous men in that movement who would afterwards become very popular, the two brothers Passos (José da Silva Passos and Manuel da Silva Passos), Rodrigo da Fonseca Magalhães, José Estêvão Coelho de Magalhães, Manuel de Jesus Coelho and others. These figures would mark the political history of Portugal later in the nineteenth century.

    War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular.... War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it.... War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
