Por que NENHUM outro estado é como o Pará
O Mapa Não Mente

For a century and a half, Portugal ruled Northern Brazil as a separate state, taking orders directly from Lisbon. When Dom Pedro proclaimed Independence, the government of Pará sided with Portugal, and Pará only joined the Empire almost a year later, on August 15, 1823, when a British officer arrived in Belém with a single ship and threatened a fleet that did not exist.
In this video, the map tells the story of the state where more than 250 prisoners died in the hold of the brig Palhaço, where the Cabanagem rebellion seized the capital, from where the seeds that brought down Brazilian rubber originated, and which in 2011 went to the polls to decide whether it would be divided into three states.
You will see:
• The wind: why the North answered to Lisbon and not to Salvador
• 1616, the Forte do Presépio and the birth of Belém
• Pedro Teixeira and the trip to Quito
• 1823: Pará's adherence to Independence and the brig Palhaço
• The Cabanagem (1835 to 1840)
• The mouth of the Amazon, Marajó and the largest buffalo herd in Brazil
• Açaí, palm oil, cocoa and the rubber cycle
• Henry Wickham, Fordlândia and Belterra
• Altamira, the largest municipality in Brazil
• The 2011 plebiscite: Carajás and Tapajós
• Carajás, Belo Monte, Tucuruí, cattle and deforestation, with both sides
• The Círio de Nazaré, the rope, maniçoba and duck in tucupi sauce
If you are from Pará, happy Círio! Tell me which city you're from. And tell me which state you want to see on the next map.

Parabéns por esse canal contribuir com o conhecimento geográfico, histórico, econômico, social e cultural dos Estados do Brasil.
De um colosso, tão belo e tão forte
Juncaremos de flores teu trilho
Do Brasil, sentinela do Norte
E a deixar de manter esse brilho
Preferimos mil vezes a morte!
Saudações Cruzmaltina, Tuna Luso Brasileira!
