The war

Apparently the uprising began due to the secondary role that the Rio Grande do Sul state played in Brazilian regencial politics because, unlike the other provinces, the state economy focused in the internal market rather than exporting commodities. The state's main product, the charque (bovine dried and salted meat), suffered the hard competition of charque from Uruguay and Argentina, which had free access to Brazilian market while the gauchos had to pay high taxes inside Brazil. Charque is a sort of fillete cured with salt and sun so it cuold be storaged for a long period of time after that process. ...

On September 20, 1835, General Bento Gonçalves captured the capital Porto Alegre, beginning the uprising. The province president fled to Rio Grande, 200km south, and the rebels, also known as Farroupilhas, elected Marciano Pereira Ribeiro as the new president. The Brazilian regent, Diogo Feijó, appointed a new president to the province, who should have taken office in Porto Alegre; instead he went to Rio Grande to take the presidency.
