Leia a letra da música:

corriam os anos trinta
no nordeste brasileiro
algumas sociedades lutavam pelo dinheiro
que vendiam pelas terras
coronéis em pés-de-guerra
beatos e cangaceiros

e correr da volante
no meio da noite/no meio da caatinga
que quer me pegar

na memória da vingança
um desejo de menino
um cavaleiro do diabo
corre atrás do seu destino
condenado em sua terra
coronéis em pés-de-guerra
beatos e cangaceiros

e correr da volante
no meio da noite/no meio da caatinga
que quer me pegar

a letra de zé ramalho nos remete a um período da história do nordeste brasileiro e de alagoas em particular, em que surgiu um dos movimentos mais significativos da república velha. identifique e explique as características desse movimento e suas repercussões no território alagoano.

The Kingdom of Kongo (Kongo: Kongo dya Ntotila[4] or Wene wa Kongo;[5] Portuguese: Reino do Congo) was an African kingdom located in west central Africa in what is now northern Angola, Cabinda, the Republic of the Congo, the western portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo,[6] as well as the southernmost part of Gabon.[7] At its greatest extent, it reached from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Kwango River in the east, and from the Congo River in the north to the Kwanza River in the south. The kingdom consisted of several core provinces ruled by the Manikongo, the Portuguese version of the Kongo title 'Mwene Kongo', meaning lord or ruler of the Kongo kingdom, but its sphere of influence extended to neighbouring kingdoms, such as Ngoyo, Kakongo, Ndongo and Matamba.[3]

From c. 1390 to 1891 it was mostly an independent state. From 1891 to 1914 it was a vassal state of the Kingdom of Portugal.[citation needed] In 1914, the titular monarchy was forcibly abolished, following Portuguese victory against a Kongo revolt. The remaining territories of the kingdom were assimilated into the colony of Angola. The modern-day Bundu dia Kongo sect favors reviving the kingdom through secession from Angola, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon.[8]

1. the townshend acts of 1767 “threaten the country with poverty and ruin.”

at a town meeting held at faneuil hall in boston on october 28, 1767, boston freeholders and residents discussed the implications of the brutal townshend acts levied against the colonists. the townshend acts were a set of four acts passed by the british parliament in the summer of 1767 in order to generate revenue for the crown (through duties on goods such as lead, glass, paper, and tea) as well as exert british control over the increasingly rebellious colonists.

during the oct. 28 meeting, the bostonians found:

the excessive use of foreign superfluities is the chief cause of the present distressed state of this town, as it is thereby drained of its money: which misfortune is likely to be increased by means of the late additional burthens and impositions on the trade of the province, which threaten the country with poverty and ruin.

as a result, the citizens unanimously voted to boycott all british-made goods.
