	A Short History of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
		De Souza arrived in Bahia on the 29th of March, in 1549, and he went to work building a capital for Brazil and a place for himself to live (or for the governor-general to live and administrate from, rather).
		De Souza was accompanied by a group of Jesuits intent on spreading Christianity to the heathen natives of the "new" lands.
		Bahia's fortune was in the making, but it was to be a product of the sweat and blood of people who spent their lives producing and not partaking -- enslaved Africans and their descendents.
