João Cândido and the Revolt of the Lash

The video discusses the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888 and introduces Juan Candido Felisberto, a sailor whose parents were former slaves. It highlights the harsh conditions in the Brazilian Navy in 1910, where poverty-stricken men were subjected to whipping. Juan and his fellow sailors staged a mutiny, demanding the end of torture as punishment. They controlled advanced warships for four days, posing a dilemma for Congress, which eventually promised amnesty but later arrested and killed most mutineers.
