Biography

Francisco Sabino was a doctor from Brazil, and he later became a revolutionary political leader. He led the Sabinada separatist uprising in 1837 in the state of Bahia on the southeastern shore, where he wanted to abolish slavery and redistribute land to the people of Brazil. His rebellion was defeated in 1838, and the provincial landowners organized a court to try him. He was exiled to Beira, dying of malaria in 1846 in Mato Grosso, a far-off region in the Amazonas.
