Canudos
Canudos was a town founded in the Bahia state of northeastern Brazil in 1893 by Antônio Vicente Mendes Maciel, an itinerant preacher who had been wandering through the backroads and lesser-inhabited areas of the country from the 1870s onwards, followed by a band of loyal supporters. As his following swelled, he took on the name Antonio Conselheiro (The Counselor) and increasingly began to trouble the local authorities, who saw him as a rival to their legitimacy.
