Caxias - Revolucão Farroupilha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | On February 25, 1845, the leaders of the Farroupilha Revolution defeated in the battlefields by the imperial troops headed by Field Marshall Luís Alves de Lima e Silva - Baron of Caxias signed the Peace of Ponche Verde. |
 | | Caxias faced with determination the revolted farroupilhas that were skilled in the art of making war in the "pampas" and in the "coxilhas". |
 | | Instead of treading upon the defeated, Caxias worked for their amnesty, for the respect to the private property, and for the incorporation of the farrapos leaders to the Imperial Army in the same posts they held. |
